Yes, that's it. Thanks! I confirm that applying of the patch there worked form me. (It's essentially a removal of one line in a2ps-lpr-wrappe.) Ruda

a2ps error; printing utf8 to a postscipt printer
Dear list, after upgrading to OpenBSD 7.4 (as far as I can tell), a2ps program stopped working: ;a2ps /home/ruda/mnt/tarkil/SIMUL/acceptance/accept1detE0.ijs [/home/ruda/mnt/tarkil/SIMUL/acceptance/accept1detE0.ijs (plain): 2 pages on 1 sheet] Usage: a2ps-lpr-wrapper [-d printer] FILE... a2ps: received SIGPIPE It seems to me that a2ps-lpr-wrapper expects a FILE argument, while a2ps (which invokes the wrapper?) does not supply one... Has anybody else had this issue? Thanks for comments. Loosely related: What program do you use to print utf8 encoded text file to a postscipt printer? (Neither a2ps, nor enscript does it. At this moment I either remove any diacritics with 'recode -f utf8..flat ...', or open the file in gedit and print from there. I heard there is 'paps' and 'cedilla' programs, but neither is in ports and I failed to compile the former as cloned from github.) Ruda
