I would like to know how you decided to install the "cups" package, since its description says it provides a print *server*. Nevertheless the cups package depends on the package "cups-clients" which contains "client programs (SysV)", i.e., the lp command for submitting a print job.
So you don'nt need another package for printing with dvips, just change the configuration of dvips in /etc/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps line 20 should then read (see comments in this file) %o |lp -- Regards, Jörg-Volker. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
