    Cracked it! I decided to have a rummage through all the gnome-print
    files I could find in the hopes that somewhere I would find a command -
    lpr, which I could then change to gtklp. Well, blow me down if I didn't
    find it in /usr/share/gnome-print in a file called profiles. There were
    three profiles - Postscript Optimized, FaxG3 and PDF. These are the
    three options in my printing dialog. Sure enough, in Postscript
    Optimised was the line: output=command,lpr! I changed it to gtklp and
    now all my print boxes in all my applications come up with gtklp. Thanks
    for the gnome-print clue. I'll copy this to the list in case anyone else
    wants it.
