After installing the x window, I installed Abiword and I tried printing
without any success. I read all the archives concerning printing, but
I am
not really sure where to start and I am a little afraid of messing up
what
printing I can now do.
Edit a little file with vi and try to print it with "lpr filename". If
this doesn't work, ist is not a abiword problem, if it does, you may
have a look at what abiword is doing to print a file.
I don't have a local printer, all printjobs are led to remote machines.
But in X11 lpr seems to use the first printer in /etc/printcap (which
contains only the printer names as printing ist done using cups).
My problem is how to call another printer within X11. lpr -P works, but
the printer names are quite long. Seems to be not possible to create
short aliases with Cups, neither in print center nor with
http://localhost:631/printers.
