On my system, KDE applications that use the "centralized KDE printing
facilities" cannot print. Printing from Konqueror, for instance,
generates an error saying "/usr/bin/lpr -P 'lp' '-#1' somefile failed ...".
I've managed to track this down to my lpr command not accepting the
command-line option "-#", which specifies the number of copies to be
printed out. The man page mentions "Often a site will disable this
feature...", so I've spent the last 2 hours sweeping through the WHOLE
/etc directory and all lp* manpages trying to figure out how this option
may have been disabled on my system by some default Debian configuration.
Without any success.
Is the Debian lpr compiled without the "-#" option? Is there some
obscure lpr/lpd config file buried somewhere in my system specifying
this behaviour? Should I just give up and try something like CUPS or
LPRng instead?
Any ideas?
TIA,
