Hi again folks. Trying to print from Sylpheed-Claws I need to enter a print command. How do I find that? Thanks.

Doesn't the default lpr not work?

I came close to having a Command in the early 80s -- a USCG LORAN (Google it) transmitter station located on the Shetland Islands, Scotland. But the Commanding Officer assignment went to a less-technically-qualified Academy graduate.

It doesn't return and"invalid" error message but it doesn't print.

What did you call the printer when you set it up? I think you have to enter that name (the same with printing from xpdf).

Sorry I can't be of more help, but my printer conked out months ago and I cannot test it here.

Maybe someone else can help out.

Close but no cigar, eh? Life is hard..........

Thanks for responding but entering the printer name didn't do it. I've googled every way I can think of to find a solution but without success. The Sylpheed-Claws manual doesn't cover it, either. At least not that I can find. Something will turn up eventually. Meanwhile, I can always copy-n-paste to Abiword and print from there.
If you should think of something please post it for me. Thanks.

You know kernel I found this answer some time in the past when printing a pdf file through xpdf, but I can't remember what it was or where I found it.

Maybe try just the lpr command without the % part.

Or try google print xpdf.

Time for υπνο here.

Hey, it is all Greek to me!

By the way, I duplicated the no-print error (perhaps because I have zero Sylpheed experience). No-print from Sylpheed, printed find from IceDove. CUPS.

Thanks anticapitalista. I'll continue to look for solutions and will post it back here if / when I find something.

Wow! I am really out classed on this forum. All I know is English and a few words in Pig-Latin.
