My printer was working a few weeks ago at printing files in Emacs, but now I get an error message that the default printer has not been set. I don't recall having done any setting of the default when it was working. I had thought it happened automagically because of some special code in some package. But it seems not. I think I should use lpoptions to set the default, but I can't find any information about what a legitimate text string should look like. Where can I find some examples of what one actually types at the command prompt? And some discussion of how it works. My printer is an HP Laserwriter 5MP, which is a very old model that has centronix parallel and long distinct AppleTalk connector.
The can't be much wrong except for configuration because I can print documents from a modern MacBook Pro laptop running Mac OS X. But that is more of a hope than a rational expection. Suggestions?
