Bug#293397: glabels: Cannot print to non-default printer

[Craig Small]

Package: glabels
Version: 2.0.1-1
Severity: normal

Glabels prints fine to the default printer.  This is ok, except that
when I want to print labels I want to use the manual sheet feeder which
means I send it to another printer called lexlabels.

Up until a version or two ago, I would have to print to a custom
printer called "lpr -P lexlabels". This wasn't great but it did work at
least.

So the first problem was that glabels doesn't recognise printer aliases
in the printcap.

A more serious problem is I changed my printcap so that lexlabels was
a normal printer entry and when glabels prints, it prints to the default
printer.

If I try the old go to custom printer and use "lpr -P lexlabels" nothing
comes out and I get on the screen.
