I run Redhat 9.0 on x686 with a networked printer HP Laserjet 1300,  which
has an internal hardware print server. The printer is set up and runs fine
with the usual array of KDE applications, OOo etc but when trying to print
from LyX I get an error message:

Error:

Unable to print.
Check that your parameters are correct.

If I look in LyX: Preferences: Printer I find:

Printer name : hp1300n
Adapt output (is checked)
Printer command: lpr

Even pages: -B                  Odd Pages: -A

File extension: .ps             Spool prefix: -d
Spool coomand: lp               Paper size: -T

... now Im not much of a linux buff and certainly Ive had some trouble
getting the networked printer up and running (actually Im not sure how I
did it), but its a Postscript printer, I know that much ;-)

Ive already read the PRINTER chanpter of Custermizing Lyx, but havent found
a solution. My printcap file looks like this:

# This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the
# /etc/cups/printers.conf file.  All changes to this file
# will be lost.
hp1300n:


The printers.conf looks like this:
