Hi I've checked with Maplesoft.com and it's true that current and probably future versions of Maple can't print with LPRng on a Unix machine. So I am in need of a simple CUPS->LPRng gateway in Perl or Python which fakes CUPS.
If Maple doesn't recognize CUPS (I don't know what it wants to see) one cannot print even not to a file. Since Linux users are only a tiny minority of Maplesoft customers I don't have any hope they are going to change this. They say As described here (for Maple 9): http://www.maplesoft.com/support/Faqs/Maple9/Installation/2.shtml, because the Standard worksheet is a Java application, it requires that the printer be configured to use Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) services. Unless you can print from the Classic Worksheet environment, there is not much else we can suggest other than installing a version of CUPS.
