Printer or LAN

[Michael Goffioul]

Can you print using the command-line utility "lpr" in both situations.
Step-by-step:
1) generate or get a PostScript (.ps) file, let's call it "file.ps"
2) turn on auto dhcp and print the file: lpr -PHP file.ps
3) turn off auto dhcp and print again: lpr -PHP file.ps

Does it work in both cases?
