Hi Thomas,
You can select your printer like this.
lpr -P[printer name goes here]
Just type the name of the printer into the dialog.
This is a Unix "feature" if you know the name of the different printers on
your LAN.
So with that simple extra piece of information you can use any gnome
program.
Cheers
Martin
PS. Please send this to the gnome usablilty team! This is exactly the sort
of thing they should be fixing.
PPS. Check out Evolution. It blows away all other Unix email clients.
