Strange(to me) problem:

I had tried too install CUPS to give me better printing on my
HP dj670C but gave up and returned to the original printing system 
by reinstalling LPRng from the rpm.   AFter a few checks with 
printconf-gui, I was able to print the test files and susequently 
other files by piping to lpr.

Now I cannot get anything to print.  I even restarted LINUX to 
no avail.  Now the print jobs seem to be transmitted to the
spooler but then removed before being sent to the printer.
See the attached script file.

This must be something simple but I don't see it.

	Thanks,   Ralph
