Thanks Johannes. I'll try this and keep troubleshooting if the problem persists. Haven't tried having it print to a file if it won't go direct to the printer. I can always print a single job after logging in but after that I can't predict how many I'll be able to do before this error occurs. I believe it started after the latest KDE update. What is cupsdoprint complaining about if the syntax works from the command line _with_ the addition of a file on the end?
