If you search the userlist archives for "lpr" at http://www.darwinfo.org/
there is some discussion about this. I don't have a local printer so I've
never had to do it myself.
This is very awkward. Once we get a native port of AbiWord, everything
should be a lot easier...

It's getting them wrong that is living, getting them wrong and wrong and

That's how we know we're alive: we're wrong.
