What were you trying to do?
Print from imgview

What's wrong:
It can't print... :)  It requires you to choose a printer from the list
of printers that it supplies.  However, this list is empty.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I tried looking at the help in imgview.  Then I tried to print the
help.  This actually got me some more information.

1) When I tried to get the "print" dialog for the help, I noticed an
error box came up that said:

  Error printing -- check printer and file /usr/tmp/sgihelpa006eB.

(The file didn't exist ... no surprise there.)

2) The help stuff had another option to send output to pipe.  And then
you could save as a file by sending the pipe over to the command:

	cat > filename

But this pipe option isn't available when printing the actual imgview
stuff.
