I heard other people report variants of these as well as running into them 
myself, but I ha dto rwork around the issue and run to where I wwas 
supposed to be using my printouts and so didn't get to debug.

1. quickstation-11-2's OpenOffice.org print dialog lists for me asmall 
handful of duplex queues, mostly dorms. I heard a report of someone 
running into this on three clusters but don't know which clusters or 
machines. This is new as of todayish.

2. From a Maverick -workstation box, lp -h printers -d [an LPRng printer] 
file.pdf gives me an unsupported application/pdf error. Jon ran into this 
with application/postscript (dunno the command line, but probably a more 
sane one). I also heard someone run into this last night with text/plain 
-- didn't get the details, but probably lpr -Pdagger from assassin, if I 
had to guess.

I'm heading out of town for the evening in an hour, so someone on campus 
should take a look and try to reproduce / debug these.

thx,
