LinuxCNC 2.7.14 Debian 7 Wheezy shortcoming

Mouse pad doesn't want to print to printer, only to file. This is after doing Application Menu/System/Printing and finding my network printer.
Mousepad seems not to know that a real printer exists. How do I fix this?

can you print a test page from the printer driver?

You may be able to use the LPR command line utility to send a text file to the printer.
