Create a wrapper script that writes debug logs. For instance, if it works on the command line but not in the lp driver, have the command do a "set >/tmp/pdf2ps_env.log" so you can see what is missing from the environment. In a wraper, you can also truss the command with output saved so you can compare much more between the command line version that works and the lp version that fails.

AIRPORT-LINKMON(1) General Commands Manual AIRPORT-LINKMON(1)
NAME
airport-linkmon - Wireless link quality monitor for the original Apple AirPort Base Station ("Graphite") and the Lucent RG-1000 base sta-
tion
SYNOPSIS
airport-linkmon
DESCRIPTION
airport-linkmon allows you to measure the signal strength and noise on the wireless links between your base station and its associated
wireless hosts.
OPTIONS
airport-linkmon accepts no command-line options. airport-linkmon is a wrapper script around the LinkMonitor.jar jar file located in
/usr/share/java/airport-utils.
You can set the JAVACMD environment variable to use a specific JVM instead of the one chosen by the wrapper script. Set the DEBUG environ-
ment variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
DEBUG Set this variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script.
JAVACMD
The full path to the Java Virtual Machine to use. By default, the wrapper uses JAVACMD; if it is not set, it looks for
JAVA_BINDIR/java, then for JAVA_HOME/bin/java before looking for a java executable in the PATH. In the latter case, the JVM used can
be configured using the Debian alternatives system (see update-alternatives(8)).
JAVA_HOME
The full path where your JDK/JRE is installed.
JAVA_BINDIR
The full path to the directory where the java executable is located.
JAVA_ARGS
Extra command-line arguments to be passed to the Java Virtual Machine.
