Thanks for the reply; great info. However, I checked in /usr/bin and
there is already an 'lp' command there:
[jose at sweety ~]$ ll /usr/bin/lp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Mar 6 2005 /usr/bin/lp ->
/etc/alternatives/print-lp*
Also, why would printing from apps like firefox or ggv work for one user
and fail for another? Thanks again.
