Conceptually easy, but infinitely buried. :-) I'm assuming you're using the stock LPR on the local box. 1) Run wp as admin: su wp -adm 2) Open a new document. 3) Select File->Print... 4) In the Print dialog box, click 'Select...' 5) In the Select Printer dialog, click 'Printer Create/Edit..' 6) In the Printer Create/Edit box, click 'Add...' 7) Select the printer device and click OK. Click OK again to accept the printer driver filename. 8) In the Printer Create/Edit box, select your new printer and click Setup... 9) In the Printer Setup dialog, click 'Destination...' 10) In the Select Destination box, click 'Create WPApp...' 11) In the Printer Destination Program, select Create->Automatic... This will create destinations for all printers defined in /etc/printcap. 12) Select the desired destination and select Edit->Destination... Modify to taste. 13) You can create additional destinations if you wish. 14) Select File->Exit and click Yes to save. 15) Your new destinations will appear in the Available Destinations dialog box. Select the desired destination and click OK. 16) OK your way out. > Has anybody gotten wp to print using the standard > lp|lpr spooler?
