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.
