Printing in RH7.2. printtool test ok,lpr from command line fails, Any ideas?

[Howard Lowndes]

It's probably getting tripped up by the print filters.  Off the top of my
head something like /usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters.  It uses a magic file
somewhere and the string "Test" is probably in that magic file.
