Here is feedback on the help I got:
>> I am starting to use lyx 0.12.0 ...
Peter Suetterlin and Jean-Marc Lasgouttes said:
> You should really upgrade to LyX 1.0.1.
Thanks, I didn't know about it, having gotten LyX from a Linux site that
didn't have 1.0.1. Now I have installed 1.0.1.
>> When I try to print directly to my printer, no result appears.
Peter Suetterlin and Jens Stolze pointed me to the print-related lines in
~/.lyx/lyxrc. They were all commented out, expecting defaults. It was
necessary to uncomment one of them, one of these two (I'm on a different
system now and can't check):
\print_spool_command lpr
\print_command dvips
>> When I try including a .eps figure float, the caption I enter in the
>> dialogue box does not appear in the document window.
Peter Suetterlin and Jean-Marc Lasgouttes pointed out that the caption
in the dialog box is only for subfigures. I had misinterpreted how to do
figure floats, but have it working now.
>> When I try to export the page containing the figure, I get this error
>> message, and no .ps file:
>>
>> ! LaTeX Error: Unknown graphics extension: eps.

I did, and that solved the problem.
Thanks!
