Hi Craig,

We had a similar problem when we tried to print our 1099 forms.  They would not
print right at all coming out of Financials.  The files that the concurrent
manager creates are located in common/out.  The "common" directory should be
found at the top of the directorty structure you defined for Oracle
Applications.  The file you are looking for will be in the format of <user
name>.<request id>.  We ran this file through a Perl script to remove some extra
carriage returns.  We then issued lp -d printer file.nam and it printed out
perfectly on the forms.

Hope this helps.
