remote cups printer: trying to print from emacs: not working; .emacs syntax question

[Mitchell Laks <mlaks@verizon.net>]

Hi I am running sid. I have a system which prints using cups to a remote cups 
printer.

I am trying to get printing from emacs working. In the past it "just worked". 
Now it seems not to. 

Emacs tries to print using "lpr", which doesnt seem to work.

I changed the variable in my .emacs

*****************
mlaks@Rashi:~$ cat .emacs
(custom-set-variables
  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it!
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 '(mouse-wheel-mode t nil (mwheel))
 '(ps-lpr-command "kprinter"))
(custom-set-faces
  ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it!
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 )
(set-frame-height (selected-frame) 130)
(set-frame-width (selected-frame) 120)
******************

And now it gives me the annoying kprinter dialog. 

However if I try this in .emacs

'(ps-lpr-command "kprinter --nodialog"))

then it fails. It seems to be trying to find the file 
"kprinter --nodialog". 
emacs doesnt realize that --nodialog is a command line switch to kprinter....

what is the correct emacs-lisp syntax?

I could just make an alias to kprinter --nodialog, but what is the correct 
emacs-lisp syntax for this.

Or else tell me how to do this some other way. What to do about getting lpr 
working right with emacs again...
