    Yes, I did have a drop-down list showing the printers (color gray photo)
    that I added to unix.js. However, when I chose to print using the lpr
    command (rather than xpp or kprinter), nothing printed. I have since
    changed the entries in unix.js to hp_deskjet895c/gray
    hp_deskjet895c/color hp_deskjet895c/photo. Now, when I choose a printer
    from the drop-down, I can print successfully using the lpr command!
    Print goes directly to the printer, without any xpp or kprinter dialog
    popping up.

    I also tried printing from the command line using the lpr command, and
    this also works, as long as I specify the print queue with the
    'hp_deskjet895c/' prefix. For some reason, I need to reference a print
    queue as 'hp_deskjet895c/gray', rather than as 'gray'. In 9.0, I could
    reference a queue as 'gray', etc. Don't know what changed between 9.0
    and 9.1....

    Thanks very much for your help.
