Printing Help?

In Linux, print card mostly seems to work, though on one distro it fails in
exactly the way Scott notices - no print dialogue, no result.   The page
setup and print card commands fail to find a printer, though the printer is
visible to and usable by every other installed application, which means very
very many.

revPrintField does not work on any distro I've tried - it does print, but
none of the print dialogue settings have any effect.

This has been true since early 2.x.  Along with proper addressing and use of
multiple virtual desktops, its something that just needs to be fixed. 
Hopefully 4.0 will fix both of these things.

In the meantime, it continues to be less painful to do formatting and
printing through the shell using awk.  Hard to believe there is a modern
software package of which one can seriously write this!
