Printing command in Linux?
Hello list!
Up until recently I did not have any need for printing from Inkscpae... But I grew quite confused... How am I exactly supposed to print from Inkscpae on Linux with CUPS? What would the command be?
System is Fedora Core 4 (both i686 and x86_64) and CUPS configured printer.
All I see is what you see in the image attached.
TIA!

I can't read the language in the dialogue, but I think if you just click 'Print' it will schedule the print job to your default print queue.
You print queues (or printers) each should have a name, this can be checked in CUPS. if you want to use a non-default printer, in the entry-field beginning with 'lp' added the printer/queue name.
For example, if my non-default printer was called "Colour" I would make the print command "lp -PColour"
the 'lp' bit is just the command line print command.
Developers: Is this a standard print dialogue? Why doesn't it go find the names of the Queues? On my Inkscape, I get no dialogue box at all, it just prints immeadiately. Although I think I have Gentoo library-rot.
thanks, -kt

That's spanish...
And sure enough, thank you, mental for the pipe hint (I should really start reading what dialog boxes actually say).
So supposing I have two printers configured, one called "local" and the other called "network", follwing what others have said (Kinsley) I could simply put '| lp -P network' and my boss would have the printed image on the network printer and I could then do '| lp -P local' for my local printer to print another copy?
Thanks for all your replies!

Yes. I don't remember if you need to remove the space after the '-P' though. I typically use '|lp -Pnetwork', though I don't know if it is required.

| lp
(note the pipe character) ought to work (it's what I use with CUPS). I don't know why the default command is simply "lp"; I wouldn't expect that to ever work.

For printing on Linux, does Inkscape just create a postscript file and pipe it to lp then?

lp or what other command you specify, yes.

Thanks for this - Inkscape prints for me now!
Is this default command going to be updated in newer versions?
(I'm still running 0.43, so has it already been updated?)
Thanks again,
Brian.

Wow, I seriously thought that was the default. I was getting ready to write the "you probably changed it sometime" e-mail and I just double checked. It's fixed now. The default destination is "| lp" now for the PS printing driver.
