I'm trying to print from Lyx, but running into trouble. I followed the
instructions in the Customization Manual, updating /etc/printcap as follows:
lp|Text printer:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/errs:\
:mx#0:sh:sf:
ps|Postscript printer:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/ps:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/ps/errs:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/ps/ps.filter:\
:mx#0:sh:sf:
I also created a filter in /var/spool/lpd/ps/ps.filter:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=ljet4 -sOutputFile=- -
I can print successfully from Konqueror and Mozilla using CUPS. I can also
print from Konsole with the lp command. If I print to a file in Lyx, then
view the file with Ghostview I can print from Ghostview. But I don't know
how to print from Lyx. I've used "lp" "lpr" "cups" and "kprinter" where you
specify the name of the printer in the "print to" section of the print dialog
box. Can't think of what else to try!
Thanks,
