+.BI \-batch
causes LyX to run the given commands without opening a GUI window.
Thus, something like:
.br
- lyx -batch -x "buffer-print printer default dvips" myfile.lyx
+ lyx \-batch \-x "buffer\-print printer default dvips" myfile.lyx
.br
will cause LyX to print myfile.lyx to the default printer, using dvips and
the default print settings (which, of course, have to have been configured
