Hi,
I read from the manpage of dvips:
-t papertype
This sets the paper type to papertype. The paper-
type should be defined in one of the configuration
files, along with the appropriate code to select
it. (Currently known types include letter, legal,
(...)
Note that executing the letter or a4 or
other PostScript operators cause the document to be
nonconforming and can cause it not to print on cer-
tain printers, so the paper size should not execute
such an operator if at all possible.
So this is why CUPS (with its customized gs interp inside) does not like
the `-t a4' used by LyX to call dvips.
Now, I've another question: The CUPS lpr command has many many options,
(like selecting pages, rotation, etc.). How do I configure lyx to use
`lpr' as the printcommand (not just spoolcommand) instead of dvips? Can I
tell LyX to convert to ps first (using dvips as the converter) and then
call lpr with all the appropriate options?
Thanks
Wilbert
