Interface changes ----------------- -Some of the LyX functions have changed names: +There have been some changes to the LyX command line.

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).
