Hi,

Upon installing RH5, I configured my first and only printer with a name
other than 'lp' (which matches our other systems in our network).

When I invoke some command such as 'ls | lpr', I receive the following message:
        lpr: lp: unknown printer

I can set the PRINTER environment variable, and that seems to work for most
cases.  However, when I use 'a2ps', I receive mail from the printer daemon
saying that my printer job could not be unlinked: permission denied.

Does anybody have any ideas on how to make the default printer something
other than 'lp'?  I have reviewed man pages, etc.  Please point me in the
"write" direction.

Thanks,
