After a year or so dabbling, I've taken the plunge and migrated from 'you know what' to linux. OK, so I'm still getting used to the quirks of a system that does what you ask it to, not what it feels like, but on the whole, loving it! The trouble is I've now got to write my thesis, and am having problems with lyx; it's not much use if I can't print anything!

I'm able to print to a .ps file, which I can then print out with an 'lpr'.
I can also export a .dvi that I can print with the 'dvips' command.
I can't print straight from lyx.

It may be to do with an old version of tetex (tetex-1.0.7-66), so I'm looking into upgrading that but having trouble finding an RH9 rpm. I'll go and complie from source if needs be, but I don't see why that should be the cause of the problem.

The help pages in the lyx version I've got aren't the most helpful (along the lines of 'well printing should be ok, and anyway, this is a lyx help not a printing manual!), and as everything seems to work independantly I'm inclined to think lyx isn't telling dvips/lpr the right things...

Any ideas gratefully recieved,

Dave
