Printing
--------
Tux Paint won't print, gives an error, or prints garbage (Unix/Linux)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Tux Paint prints by creating a PostScript rendition of the picture
and sending it to an external command. By default, this command is
the "lpr" printing tool.
If that program is not available (for example, you're using CUPS,
the Common Unix Printing System, and do not have "cups-lpr" installed),
you will need to specify an appropriate command using the
"printcommand" option in Tux Paint's configuration file.
(See the OPTIONS documentation.)
Note: Versions of Tux Paint prior to 0.9.15 used a different default
command for printing, "pngtopnm | pnmtops | lpr", as Tux Paint output
PNG format, rather than PostScript.
If you had changed your "printcommand" option prior to Tux Paint 0.9.15,
you will need to go back and alter it to accept PostScript.
I get the message "You can't print yet!" when I go to print!
------------------------------------------------------------
The "print delay" option is on. You can only print once every X seconds.
