No need to do that. Basically, the default options
should be fine. However, _some_ programs require you
to set paper format or margins.
For actual _printing_, there is no need for any
configuration. Programs will address the default
printing queue (lp, or whatever $PRINTER says).
If your printer is "Deskjet", add
setenv PRINTER Deskjet
to /etc/csh.cshrc for systemwide use (all users),
or whatever your default shell is. You can also
use login.conf to set this environmental variable.
I suggest to do so because if _not_ done, you'd
have to add "-P Deskjet" in too many places. :-)
