And how do I print the resulting .pdf?

system printer, xfce system, shows 4 choices, one for pdf, 2 for this 
brother
depending on tray choice in the profile cups shows, and one for the 
HLL2320D.

I made the 4 page pdf, but lp -d can't find anything to print to. The 
printer,
or class, does not exist regardless of how carefully I copy/paste the 
destination
device from the output of /usr/sbin/lpinfo -v.(and, why is that not in 
my $PATH?)

Thank you David.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
