} Any ideas?

The SunView interface for the <Printer> button makes a call to the
line-mode lpr command, exactly as if you had run mush in line mode and
typed "lpr 7" (fill in your Range: field where 7 appears in the example).

Do you perhaps have "cmd lpr ..." somewhere in an init file?  If so, the
tool will call that cmd instead of the actual lpr, which might cause the
setting of $printer to be changed or ignored.
