No.   Should I?  Setting it seems to fix the problem.   Where is it
documented?  Where should I set it so it's there next time I login/reboot?

bigbird at sananda:~/documents$ echo $PRINTER

bigbird at sananda:~/documents$  

bigbird at sananda:~/documents$ PRINTER=HP1020
bigbird at sananda:~/documents$ echo $PRINTER
HP1020
bigbird at sananda:~/documents$ export PRINTER
bigbird at sananda:~/documents$ lp newquotes.txt
request id is HP1020-1865 (1 file(s))
