    Is there anything about setting your default printer in the manuals
included with the Standard 2.0 release?  Fortunately, I have the man
pages, and a man -k defaults turned up the dwrite command.  Other then
that, I still wouldn't know how to do this.  (The lpr command does mention
the default variable Printer, but doesn't really say how to set it.)

Oh, the command turned out to be
   dwrite System Printer lp
or, at least that worked.  

What really surprises me is that this has not been asked before on 
comp.sys.next.  This either means that noone has printers, or everyone
is using a NeXTLaser printer.  (I am using a printer on another 
machine (non-NeXT)).
