Undefine your PRINTER environment variable. Or otherwise put something like: PRINTER= ascii in your /etc/make.conf It's only too bad that the system build uses a variable that is also used by the lpr-family programs for everyday work :-( It would be much better to use a variable something like 'DOCS_FORMAT' for the purpose of formatting the documents.
