No, it creates a file named "| lp".
I guess I didn't explain that well. I see:
+---------+ +-----+
Printer: | File || | |Setup|
+---------+ +-----+
Clicking on the drop down menu that says "File" reveals that "File" is the
only option. Clicking on the "Setup" button brings up a dialog box with:
Driver Postscript Level 2 (a drop down menu)
PPD file (a blank text entry field)
Command (nothing)
Shouldn't there be a way to get a text entry field to appear after the
"Command" heading so that I can type "lpr" there?
Am I required to use a .PPD file to print to a print queue? It prints
to a file with no problem.
Is there a config file I should edit? It would be nice if I could set
up the printer once and not have to worry about it again.
TIA,
John
