No provision for printing pictures under Lubuntu 14.04?

[John Hupp]

The default print command is kprinter.

Following the Puppy Linux article, I installed gtklp and then 
substituted that for kprinter.

Using lpr instead of gtklp for the print command does not work. At least 
to the casual observer, it yields the same no-response as kprinter.
