This:

You may "Select" a print command as your default printer.
  You may also add custom print commands to the list in the "Personally"
  selected print command" section below.

    Default printer currently set to "attached-to-ansi".

 Printer attached to IBM PC or compatible, Macintosh *highlighted*
      This may not work with all attached printers, and will depend on the
      terminal emulation/communications software in use. It is known to
work
      with Kermit and the latest UW version of NCSA telnet on Macs and
PCs,
      Versaterm Pro on Macs, and WRQ Reflections on PCs.
        Printer: attached-to-ansi *highlighted*
                 attached-to-ansi-no-formfeed

 Standard UNIX print command
      Using this option may require setting your "PRINTER" or "LPDEST"
      environment variable using the standard UNIX utilities.
        Printer List: ""                      lpr                           

 Personally selected print command *highlighted*
      The text to be printed will be piped into the command given here.
The
      command is in the 2nd column, the printer name is in the first
column. Som
      examples are: "prt", "lpr", "lp", or "enscript". The command may be
given
      with options, for example "enscript -2 -r" or "lpr -Plpacc170". The
      commands and options on your system may be different from these
examples.

Many thanks,
