= SYMPTOMS =

The options to install a new printer and delete a printer are not available (dimmed) when Works is accessed from the file server, or when the /n switch is used to start Works from a user directory.

= CAUSE =

These options are disabled by design whenever the /n switch is used by itself. This situation occurs whether the user directory is located on the local workstation or on the server. This behavior is not dependent on file- sharing privileges.

= SOLUTION =

Use the /p switch in addition to the /n switch.

For example, if x: is the user directory, use the following command to start Works with all printer options enabled:

Works /n x: /p
