[GTALUG] Printing Problem - Can't find printer

[David Collier-Brown]

I can get the same effect on Fedora when going from work to home.  If I 
print on the work printer at work, I sometimes can't print on the home 
one when I get back.

Your mentioning it reminded me that, In previous lives, echo "" | lpr && 
lprm would unstick things. I wonder if that's still true...
