I must be missing something obvious.  I've written a filter in python
and placed it in the proper location /usr/local/libexec/filters/.

Then updated printcap accordingly.

holdqueue|server queue \
        :tc=.srvr:server:rw \
        :lp=/tmp/holdqueue \
        :filter=/usr/local/libexec/filters/txt2pdf [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        :oh=assurbanipal.pp.asu.edu

Yet, when I print, I get

lpq -lll -Pholdqueue
Printer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'server queue'
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
 Server: no server active

Still, the txt2pdf has perms 751.  Ive run checkpc and lpc reread.  

Any hints as to what is happening?
(yes, python does live in /usr/local/bin/python)
