Ubuntu under WSL for Windows can not print

Ubuntu prints fine as a VM dir -l | lpr

However Ubuntu loaded on WSL-1 no luck. Dir -l | lpr no such command.

Any ideas? Thanks

Welcome.

As this is not a forum for WSL, you will likely get better support for WSL questions at AskUbuntu or the Ubuntu Forums

You might need to simply install lpr

Good luck

From what I could find out in at least WSL-1 the hooks are
not there. How about WSL-2. It prints fine as a VM on Virtualbox.
