For those who haven't read Mark's helpful workaround, from his comment 
there:

    If you print to pdf, copy and rename that pdf file into
    the /tmp directory, then you can print it to the printer
    because the print command invokes lp properly.


Thanks, Mark. That's more or less what I'm doing now, though manually.

I can work around most of the limitations each time another wheel falls 
off the LC Linux engine.

So I'm okay. I'm more concerned the other tens of millions of desktop 
Linux users who may not stumble across this workaround and get a poor 
impression of what LiveCode can do for themselves and the orgs they run.
