In fact, we need dialog boxes for all aspects of lyxrc. That's a bit
of work, but I am confident that this will happen eventually.

You can always define something like
\printer_command "lpr -h"
in lyxrc.

This will be supported in lyx 1.0.1. In the meantime, if yu use a
printer name, then you can write in the 'Printer name' input line
MyPrinterName -pp1-5

This is a hack, but it works...

You're welcome.

I have used lyx since the pre-release version of 0.12.0. LyX makes
my life much easier than latex. Thanks a lot. However, I still
can not get around with its print command. There are a few questions:

1) Could we have a dialog box for printer setup, instead of letting
a newbie user to fiddle around with lyxrc? 

2) How to add print options? such as '-h' for lpr or 
'-o nobanner' for lpr to prevent print the stupid banner page?

3) Is it possible to use dvips's -p or -pp options to print just some 
pages?

Sorry to ask too much. Maybe they are already in the TODO list.

Thank you,

Jerry

In fact, the dialog box asks for the name of the printer, and this is
set to 'lp' by default (not sure why). You can set a different default
printer in lyxrc (\printer myprinter). 

If you want to force LyX to use lpr instead of lp, you should use
something like 
\print_spool_command lpr
\print_spool_printerprefix -P
in your lyxrc.

If you have set up dvips to print to your printer, a safer bet is
\print_spool_command ""
\print_adapt_output true

Hope this helps.

Hi

I have this problem with Lyx-1.0.0pre8, when I want to print my
document, the dialog box ask me the instruction for printing ( "lp" for
my station), but Lyx always use "lpr". Is it a bug ?
