Okay, I got jws to work.  The lp command line is something like:

	lp -dmeadow "-tJava WorkShop Help Table of Contents"

Alarmingly, the getopts shell builtin seems to process this line as if
it were:

	lp -dmeadow -tJava WorkShop Help Table of Contents

which of course doesn't work (it tries to print five files with names
"WorkShop", "Help", "Table", etc.).

So, we need to:

	* Fix /usr/athena/bin/lp, somehow
	* Install a /usr/bin/lp symlink in the release
