Hello all:

       { I'm writing this msg about an hour after the above.}

        I executed 'lpc down lp' which took my printer offline
completely.  Then I executed 'lpr -P lp ~/.bashrc', and when I looked at
the spool directory, the message was there waiting for 'lp' to start
accepting print jobs again.   Then I ran 'lpc start lp', the message
        " printinenabled
          daemon started "  was printed on my terminal, and the print job
disappeared from the spool directory, but NOTHING printed!

        If anyone can tell me what's happening here, I'd be greatful ...

        Thanks,

                Hal Schlicht
