Thanks, unfortunately that gets me no further.  It is like you are
speaking another language that I don't understand and for which there
is no dictionary.  

What is a "switch" in this context?  What value is placed in this
field to be passed to "pr"?  There is no explanation of this in the
manual, as far as I can find.  One cannot proceed independently if
the information needed to do so is obscure or unavailable.  :-(

I did, it didn't answer my question.

But thank you for your help.  I will continue to print my documents
out of another application.  It's inconvenient but it works.
