I'm planning to look into this during the next days, at the weekend at
the latest.  I wanted to check if the description from tex.el still
holds true.  Perhaps I even have an idea of how to deal with the
automatic switching of the print command when TeX PDF mode is enabled or
what to do when `lpr' is not available, such as is the case on my
computer.  (Not sure what Dvips does with the -P option, i.e. if it also
uses `lpr' or can interface directly with CUPS.)
