how to make a2ps -P display in Sid work
Per advice on d-u@l.d.o, to enable the 'display' printer in a2ps
1:4.13b-2, I uncommented the relevant line in /etc/a2ps.cfg:
$ diff -u etc/a2ps.cfg /etc/a2ps.cfg
--- etc/a2ps.cfg 2004-03-03 03:43:30.000000000 -0800
+++ /etc/a2ps.cfg 2004-06-06 15:36:22.000000000 -0700

UserOption: display -1 --prolog=color -Pdisplay
# It is better not to pipe in ghostview

+Printer: display | cat > #f0 && #{ghostview} #f0
# Save into a file named after the input files.
# E.g. a2ps src/foo.c => foo.ps

However, I then get the following error:
$ ls | a2ps -P display
[stdin (plain): 1 page on 1 sheet]
sh: line 1: /tmp/a2_6GJKzn: Permission denied
[Total: 1 page on 1 sheet] sent to the printer `display'
//////////
What else do I need to do?
