Thus, something like: - lyx --batch -x "buffer-print printer default dvips" myfile.lyx -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 -already). At present, not many commands can be used this way, but there will -be more eventually. +There have been some changes to the LyX command line.
