The BUG is the following:
dvi2ps logan | lpr -hPcalvin
did not give the same error message. It failed quietly. That is
wrong.
There's no bug here. "-hPcalvin" is not a valid argument syntax for
lpr. Lpr is going to ignore the "Pcalvin" and only notice the "h",
which means that it is going to go to the default printer, which for
e40 is nil, and nil doesn't have quotas enabled.
Try "-h -Pcalvin" or "-h -P calvin".
