Printer selection

[Richard Kreiss]

I have passed the printer using -p and have also tried setting Putenv
"PFTRP", at pr before the system call to print.

When I check @pr in sel_new, it shows system_printer, the default fp printer
in both cases.  However, mothering prints to either printer.

Anyone have a clue as what I need to do to get the second report to print.
