​  [no tool should ever print its output directly; that is what the lp and lpr commands are for]

​To overcome this, when I install ap2s from source, I edit the installed
a2ps.cfg file with these changes:

< Variable: lp.default #{lp.hook} lp #{lp.options}
---

> Variable: lp.default #{lp.hook} cat #{lp.options}


< Variable: lp #{lp.hook} lp #{lp.options} -d
---

> Variable: lp #{lp.hook} cat #{lp.options} >
