inkscape: uses "lp" by default, should be "|lpr". We can't change the preferences, it is hardcoded in the binary Solution: ln -s /usr/bin/lpr /usr/bin/P perl -pi -s "s/lp</|P</" /usr/bin/inkscape ------------------- Gimp 2: uses lpc status ------------------- Scribus: does not use the PRINTER variable... ------------------
