Package: psptools
Version: 1.2.2-6
Severity: normal

This diff corrects the upstream psplpr source. The --lpr option is still needed
even when -Pprinter is used contrary to the man page. The --lpr is also
needed when using psplpr as a filter with the -o or --output option. They should
be mutually exclusive. Setting the default $used_lpr_prog = $lpr_prog at the
beginning of psplpr is one solution or just continue to use the --lpr option 
even if 
used as a filter. This diff makes psplpr work without exporting a PRINTER 
environment 
variable before starting the driver.

Here is a small enhancement to fix outstanding report #27273

Maybe some maintainer can plug these into the debian diff to
the source package instead of waiting for the source to change?
