Here is the requested information.

Notice that printers.conf changed (again?) between the fgrep and the
diff -- the time stamp in the diff has also been updated just after
(10:20 vs 10:58).

(Some time passed between these commands; certainly I left the
terminal for longer than 300 seconds where I ran sleep 300, because I
was working on other things in the meantime.  But the real beef seems
to be the time between the first fgrep and the diff.  This was no more
than a few minutes, and possibly only seconds.)
