I have set up a printer using CUPS called "laser". Its actually a Brother
Laser printer connected to a windows machine across my network. It works
great from within KDE.
However, I have installed lyx - to try it out. This is NOT a kde/qt
application - I think its a gtk. It running in a kde window. When I want to
print it pops up a dialog box with a blank text box for me to fill in the
name of the printer.
Anyone any idea what to fill in to get it to print on my CUPS "laser". I
tried the obvious (ie laser), it took a long time thinking before coming back
to me as though it had done it, but there is no trace of a job on CUPS and
nothing came out of the printer.
