# ./xplsprinters

# ./xplsprinters -printer canon
./xplsprinters:  no printers found for printer spec "canon".

("canon" is one of the printers I've installed via CUPS,
"lp" is the other one)

I get an error:

Error: /invalidfont in findfont

because of the error:
1 empty page on each of the printers

xphelloworld:  no printers found for printer spec "canon"

So maybe i've misconfigurated something?
