OK, Ray, here it is:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9479 Jul 22 10:33 filter

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22 Jul 22 11:03 lock
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 342 Jul 22 10:33 postscript.cfg
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 25 Jul 22 11:03 status
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 147 Jul 22 10:33 textonly.cfg

[brownh@localhost brownh]$ ls -l /var/spool/lpd
total 3
drwxr-xr-x 2 root lp 2048 Jul 22 11:03 lp
