] I guess You need to set a few useful variables, for example,
] see part of my .profile:

    Note that these are all sh(1) settings ("NAME=value;export NAME"). For csh(1), it'd be "setenv NAME value".

] PRINTER = lj5 # Real printer name from /etc/printcap (BSD Style)

    This one most Unix folks have set already. (Do make sure it's set for you.)

] TK2_PRINT = "lpr -P'%n' -#%c -h" # BSD Print style

    This is only necessary if you need BSD printing on a non-BSD Unix box. (Or vice versa--then you'd set it to "lp...".)

] TK2_PRINT_STATUS = echo

    Again, only if the default printer status command is the wrong way 'round for your installation. (For BSD sites, it should really be set to "lpc status %n"; setting it to "echo" just turns off printer checking.)

] NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII # Set your native charset

    This is the default on most installations already; you'd need to set it only if the default isn't right for you.

    The real kicker, though, is to properly configure your ?/tk/admin/uiprint.txt file for the printers you've got available. (It's a text file--the documentation is at the top of the file.)
