Well, it's printing the raw LyX output so the application and the printer
are on speaking terms even if they're not yet formally engaged.

When I open the print dialog box I'm offered two options: printer and
file. Since I changed my CUPS printer definitions from the old 'laser5' to
two new definitions (laser5_ps and laser5_non_ps), most applications get
confused because I've not chased down the config files and re-specified the
default printer name.
However, I can still print to a disk file and see the .ps version there.
Then lpr will ship that to the printer. I belive now that LyX is not
properly configured for your printer. I'm not running X now so I can't go
look at what I have there. But, you're getting much closer to fixing it. We
now know it's a matter of specifying the printer so LyX recognizes it.
