I am having this same problem; that is, AbiWord is not printing using
the 'lpr' command or with 'lpr -P printername'.
The last time this happened, it was solved by recompiling AbiWord.
This time recompiling did not solve it.
Note that all other applications I use regularly are printing just fine from GNOME using lpr (gedit, gnumeric, pan, Netscape 7.0).
Thanks for any help,
Barry Skidmore

First: did you define printers in CUPS? Invoke /usr/sbin/printers (that's where it is on our Red Hat boxes, use 'locate printers' to find where it is on your S.u.S.E. box). Use the CUPS System Administrator's Manual to properly configure your printer(s). Test them. Second: modify your print string in LyX, if necessary, to specify the particular printer to use. It may be necessary with only one printer, but probably not. For example, you'd use 'lpr -P myprinter' to define the destination for LyX. Third: if nothing comes out the far end of the process, take a look at the job status in /usr/sbin/printers and, if necessary, clear any existing CUPS processes. HTH, Rich Dr. Richard B.
