Rich, I think Matej suggested exporting to postscript to try and determine where the problem exists. When I create a file "test" and save it, it is saved under the name "test.lyx" (File extension .lyx was set in outputs -> preferences.) When I print it, the xpp panel pops up and the name is changed to "test.ps" And there is no directory information before the file name. If I continue with the print panel, I get the error message: "Unable to print file 'test.ps' -- client-error-not-found" If I add the directory information and put the extension back to .lyx (/home/peter/test.lyx) I get the following printed on my printer: #LyX 1.1 created this file.

(what I typed in my document) \the_end Still confused, Peter Christensen
