My original printcap file follows. I just tried again, using this version to
print, and still nothing happened. I checked the end of each line: there's
just a return, followed by a tab for the next line.
I just tested this version of printcap with the command, "lp testfile" and
it worked. I wonder if there is something missing from my installation of
Lyx? I started with KDE, then added Lyx and Tetex, plus CUPS. I can print
from KDE applications through CUPS. Does Lyx require something in addition
to this? I am able to print a Lyx document by printing it to a file, then
opening it under Ghostview and printing it.
Thanks,
Peter
