How do I permanently change Abiword printer command from lpr to

gs -r300 -dNOPAUSE -sOutputDevice=/dev/lp0

and set it to always print black and white not color?

I hope to give away computers with BL3 and people want to print things other than just plain text.

If you put something on the screen and select Print you can manually change printer from lpr but it reverts back. I don't see anything about this in /root/.Abisuite or Preferences.

I tried to search the online user's manual. 404 not found (with lynx).
The index and howto have nothing about printing.

I set up the above as a custom printer in Opera.

I compiled gs with deskjet as the default device. The -r300 may also be the default.

pdf files can be converted (pdftoppm) and printed with netpbm.

The latest xpdf precompiled requires a glibc X. Does anyone want to
compile it for BL3?
