Description-en: GUI for lpr: print files and configure printer-specific options
gpr is a graphical interface to lpr that provides for easy configuration
of printer-specific options. gpr interfaces with a PostScript
printer's PPD file to create a user-interface of configurable
options. Based upon user choice, the device-specific option code
is then inserted into the PostScript job and sent to the printer.
This can be used to tell the printer to duplex or staple the print
job, or tell it what paper tray to draw paper from.
NOTE: gpr will detect if the file to be print is postscript, and, if not,
it will call a2ps to preprocess it before sending it to ppdfilt and to lpr.
