I think I have figured out why this bug has popped up again. It is
actually a new variant of the bug which in all likelihood has been
lurking for years.
The problem is in etc/a2ps-cfg.in, line 433:
Variable: lp #{lp.hook} a2ps-lpr-wrapper #{lp.options} @LPR_QUEUE_OPTION@
See? the option to a2ps-lpr-wrapper is depending on the printer
system installed on the compiling machine!
(I figured it out when I tried to compile the newest version on my own
system - it worked like a charm! So I had to look into differences in the
configuration files.)
The line should be changed to
Variable: lp #{lp.hook} a2ps-lpr-wrapper #{lp.options} -d
because the wrapper script *always* takes -d option - then changes it to
-P option depending on printing configuration on the run-time machine.
best regards
