No problems. As I said, I use the same queue from my linux boxes with no
problem. There's nothing there.

I load the queues from printcap (listed below), so I don't see what
other queue could be involved. Theres nothing in /var/spool/samba/, and
nada in /var/spool/lpd/[XXX]/. I've even removed the printers, deleted
all files, and reinstalled it all. No go.
