I think there is a slight misunderstanding here. Unix programs that use
PRINTER use it to name the default printer, not the default printing
command. So if PRINTER is set, the "lpr" command will direct output to
the specified printer instead of an installation-dependent default.
In order to make Dom's fix work for me, as I read it, I would need to
set PRINTER to "lpr -Pmyprinter" instead of "myprinter", which is how it
is currently set.
