[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46445] unable to print directly to non-postcript printer (HP 8610)

[Adrian Mariano]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #46445 (project octave):

I used the -debug option with print and got the information attached below. 
It looks like the problem is that ghostscript is being invoked to produce a
postscript language output and then lpr is invoked with "-l", which forces the
printer to print the output directly rather than interpreting it.  AT least,
this explains the basic behavior I get.  

The solution is to remove the "-l" option from the lpr command. But I can't
figure out how to do this.  Where is this option configured?
