Yes, I got that. Have you been waiting for feedback from me? Sorry, I
didn't realise...

By the way, gtk-print-backends="lpr" is not extremely user-friendly, as
it does not show the printers in the lprng system, but just one entry
"Print to LPR". Anyway, for other reasons I've switched to CUPS, so this
is no longer my problem.

Best wishes,
Viktor.
