No luck as yet Bruce.

I've fiddled around some changing settings but nothing has made a 
difference.  When I try to print a report from MD, a report file is 
generated but nothing at all happens when I press the Print button.  No 
lights flash, no nuttin.  /var/log/cups/access.log has no error reports.

Unfortunately, I can't copy and paste the report to a file for printing 
because Java won't allow me to copy.

The only thing I can do is export it to a csv or html file which I 
_guess_ could be printed but that's pretty cumbersome to have to do each 
time.

Also I can highlight a section of my MD register (say 10 lines) but MD 
won't let me copy it with either the Edit tab or ^c.

I downloaded Robby Workman's suggestions.  I a large install file 
designed for Slackware with no indication inside of what version it 
installs or what it will do.  I don't want to bork my system over this.

If you could find a place for your jre tarball I'll give that a try.

Frustration!
