    I've tested this again and I can't work out what's happening. Doing a test
    print from YaST works. This says that is uses 'lpr -Plp /path/to/file.ps' to
    print the test. If I try this manually ('lpr -Plp /a/different/file.ps')
    then nothing happens - there is no sign that the file is sent to the
    printer (it doesn't appear in the queue and there is no network activity).
    I've tried this as root and user but neither works.

    I know nothing about lpr and can't see why it would work for YaST and not
    manually. I've re-run YOU but printing still doesn't work.

    Pointers gratefully received!

    Thanks,

    John
