My difficulty arises when printing from a Shell, in particular Mutt.  I
can't find where to set the default printing instruction to "lp".  I
checked through .muttrc and there didn't appear to be any relevant
references in there.

In your .muttrc, just add:

set print_command="lp"

That should work.


It works in as much as it gets piped to lpq but alas goes no further ;-(

The problem seems to be getting lpq to deliver its contents to the
actual printer.  This doesn't seem to be a problem when printing from
Galeon or Kwrite.

Thanks for your help

I have come in on this late and haven't read all the previous messages, so pardon if this has been covered.

Try installing the cupsys-bsd package if you haven't already done it and see what happens. This should give your CUPS system compatability with BSD-style printing commands. I had problems getting a few apps to print via CUPS until I did this.
