When you ask to print, every gnome based program launches the nice print
interface of gnome (obvious) that, among others, presents ever:
[ Location = lpr ] as default printer command.

It's possible to change it manually, switch to 'custom' and type the preferred
print command.

I wish to set my print command permanently, so that gnome proposes it as default
(..so i have only to press enter...) but i wasn't able to find any useful docs
on gnome.org nor on gnomedesktop.org.

Any info/tip appreciated.
