What have I missed, or misunderstood?
Man lpr says this with respect to the -p option.
-p Use pr(1) to format the files (equivalent to print).
To me this means that "lpr -p filename RETURN"
should have the same effect as
"pr filename|lpr RETURN".
But it doesn't work that way. "lpr -p filename RETURN" produces no
printer output at all. Can anybody straighten me out on this?
