At least in 1.1.5cvs (probably one of the latest of the 1.1.5cvs versions)
it doesn't work. LyX pops, asks if to export to file or printer, doesn't
wait for an answer, closes the questioning pop-up and closes, no
postscript is done, no latexing is done.
Exporting to latex works ok though (this is what I use now), my problem is
that it asks for the confirmation since there is a .tex file present, this
should be avoided when doing it from command line.
