Lyx configuration
Symptom:
Lyx can be started, but you cannot print with it.
Cause:
This can be due to several causes...
Solution:
Please proceed as follows (in the same order as described here):
- Install the packages lyx and TeX
- Configure TeX (by using texconfig)
- Edit the file ~/.lyxrc as follows:
Search for the line containing \printer.
It should be disabled.
Further in the file you find the line: \print_command.
Change this line to:
\print_command dvips.
Two lines below you find the line: \print_spool_cmd.
Change this line to:
\print_spool_cmd lpr.
Please make sure that none of these lines start with a comment sign!
After doing this, everything should work.
