Have upgraded to Kubuntu 18.04 and now can't print pdf files from the command line.
:~$ lpr  test.pdf
lpr: Error - No default destination.
Can't think whats wrong so any help would be welcome

Check that you have set the Default Printer.

The man file says "lpr submits files for printing. Files named on the command line are sent to the named printer or the default destination if no destination is specified."

How stupid of me!
Thought I'd checked that but obviously I hadn't
Thanks a lot
