Then the ps->printer converter is lpr. If the user need something more complicated, he can write a dialog in tcl/tk, python/tk, etc. In fact, we can provide a sample implementation in the LyX distribution. > 2/ we have to be able to pass -Pprintername to dvips when it makes > sense Why ? It is better to generate a Postscript file that is printer independent (using scalable fonts). In any case, the user can edit the dvi->ps converter in the preferences dialog, or edit the ~/.dvips file. > 3/ we have to check what to do with the -t argument to dvips (which > seemingly produces non-conforming postscript) This is an unrelated matter. We were talking about removing the printing code, while what you talk above is removing the dvips code in converter.C. However, the latter can also be done, using the papersize special.
