Did the lpq -llll and got the output shown below. There's a postscript
error. The file prints fine if dumped to the printer with pap, so I guess
there's an error in filter processing.
I turned PS error printing on on my LJ4 and it printed the following:
ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND:
STACK:
Not very useful, but it explains why the job isn't printing.
Does ifhp send the job straight thru if it's postscript, but create
postscript if it's not?
Also, lpq doesn't show the job in the queue when it's done. But, the job
exists in the lp/ directory (along with a whole bunch of other test prints).
lpq -llll output:
