I am trying to use the 'p' option to print my mail, but even though elm
tells me that the message has been sent to printer, it does not get
printed. I can use the pipe command to get it there, but not using
the 'p' command. I have including a portion of my elmrc file and
some examples of things I have tried.

print = cat | lp -dprinter
(or)
print = lp -dprinter %s

print = | lp -dprinter
