Nope, what exactly happens?

What's "nada"? Do you got "Couldn't print"?
: Is this a known limitation or a bug in the port.
I guess it's because of a wrong print command.
See DefaultPrintCmd() in src/lib/unidraw/dialogs.c : Default is "lpr -P%s".
I've that successfully overridden by means of the getenv("PRINT_CMD") on VMS,
so it should work on some unix as well, if you make sure that getenv("PRINTER")
returns the right thing!
