I just started to use ethereal (this is my work address, I'm on the
mailing lists at home).

If the PRINTER isn't in the printcap file, and you try to print
(I'm using "follow tcp stream"), we get a SIGPIPE and
it aborts.  (I initially had an empty printcap file, I used lprng)

I like the way the "follow tcp stream" colorizes input,
but how do I get this out to the printer (or generate a postscript
file).

I have (in preferences/printing):
	format: postscript	
	print to: file
but I just see an ascii dump (not a postscript image of the colorized window).


I also can't follow one side of the conversation (I set a filter expression [which did what I want], but then when I said "follow tcp conversation I get both sides).

I ended up running 2 ethereals, one for each side of the conversation.
