History of 2020-04-27 Printing from pdf-tools

2020-04-27
		09:39 UTC Revision 1 . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Some time ago I studied the command-line interface to CUPS. Of course, my goal from the beginning was to use Emacs, not the terminal. It turns out that setting the default printer using lpoptions is not enough for pdf-misc-print-document (bound to C-c C-p in pdf-tools) to work. This command tries first to locate one of three tools for command-line printing: gtklp, xpp and gpr. Frankly, I’ve never heard about any of them, and I just wanted to use lp. This is easy to accomplish – you just need to set the variable pdf-misc-print-programm (sic!) to "lp" and you’re good to go. However, what about my 2-up printing?
