Re: lpr command not found

Thanks,

Before I thought it's some hidden command in some package, did not
realize I should use aptitude show or dpkg -S or apt-cache search.
(actually I was not addicted to use those ways,  I used to go to
debian webpage and looking for package.)

well, I have a derived problem, after installing lpr,

$ lpr ProbSet_2.pdf
lpr: lp: unknown printer

$ lpstat
HP-LaserJet-P4015-225   lina            156672   Thursday
02,February,2012 11:35:38 AM SGT

lp ProbSet_2.pdf
request id is HP-LaserJet-P4015-226 (1 file(s))

I don't know what's going on.

thanks,
