  I have a problem with printing from AUC TeX from with Emacs.  The
print command that is generated appears to be perfectly fine, but
nothing comes out of the printer.
  If I copy the print command and paste it into an Xterm, it works
fine.  Here's the output when I do it from within AUC TeX with the C-c
C-b Print command:

Running `Print' on `_region_' with ``dvips -o "|lpr -P tryfan_1" _region_.dvi ''
This is dvipsk 5.58f Copyright 1986, 1994 Radical Eye Software
' TeX output 1996.06.10:1559' -> |lpr -P tryfan_1
<texc.pro><8r.enc><texps.pro>. [1] 

Print finished at Mon Jun 10 16:00:04

With the exception of the `Print finished..' line, this is exactly the
same as I get when I type this into an Xterm:
	       dvips -o "|lpr -P tryfan_1" _region_.dvi
with the exception that in the latter case I also get a paper copy...

Here are the relevant bits from my ~/.emacs file:
(load-library "/teTeX/emacs/lisp/auctex/latex.el")
(setq TeX-print-command "dvips -o \"|lpr -P %p\" %d")

This is the version string from latex.el:
;; Version: $Id: latex.el,v 5.46 1996/03/12 00:16:30 abraham Exp $

The output of `uname -a' is as follows:
SunOS thames 5.5 Generic sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-4

Does anyone know what's going on here, and how I can fix it?
