I have had heaps of problems with this command, especially
when trying to select a non-default printer.

By default, printed output disappears down a black hole. I would have
hoped that gnus would display the error from lpr, but it doesn't.

I assume I have to change either lpr-command or lpr-switches.

Rather then trying to reproduce all the horrible LISP errors I have
encountered, could somebody please give me sample LISP code to change
the active printer with the -P option to lpr? Thanks.

Also, there is a bug in C-u A P. From memory, it asks what file to
write the output to. However, if multiple messages have been selected,
only the last one will appear (I assume that each message overwrites
the last one).

As for that postscript error, /undefined seems to be one of the most
common errors I have seen (not from gnus though).
