I upgraded from Jessie to Stretch and now there is no print icon in lyx.
Cntrl-d brings up xdvik and renders a dvi file. Pushing cntrl-P in xdvik

Any suggestions as to how I might get a print option in lyx?

I got xdvki/dvi to print fine (my alert IT guy added a missing dependency), so
only question now is: what happened to the print icon in lyx? It used to be
in the "File" dropdown menu. Its no huge deal as now to print I press cntrl-d
and then cntrl-p, instead of just cntrl-p as before, but it still seems
strange that there is no print icon in my lyx 2.2.2.
I believe Richard Heck answered this (but I've deleted my copy of the
message). IIRC, he said that direct printing had been removed from LyX
due to a combination of very few people using it and it being a PITA for
the devs. Personally, I never used it and never noticed it was gone. The
"official" way to print now is to compile and view the document (which
ctrl-D in LyX does for you) and then print it from the viewer (which
ctrl-P apparently does in xdvik).
