Thanks Ken, that gave me what I needed to work it out from there.  I just
drilled down the customise menus until I found the item dealing with
command line options for pr and added them in there.  However, it soon
became apparent that I really needed to be printing in landscape rather
than portrait.  So I ended up fiddling with the psprint options and got it
working that way.  Funnily enough I think that the print via the pr method
actually looks better.  Just can't work out how to print in landscape that
way.

Thanks again for your (and Kai's) help!
