(I think I've seen this on my 8.4 solaris machine, but I was playing
with some other printing stuff there, so it's possible it's my fault.
I haven't done anythign to the linux box tho.)

When I try to M-x print-buffer, it seems to work, but the job never
makes ti to the print spool.  From my *Messages* buffer:

Loading lpr...
Loading lpr...done
Spooling with options -z -h...
Spooling with options -z -h...done


but:

vorpal-blade:~: lpq -Pvln
Printer: vln@husqvarna  'HP5000 outside E40-333'
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
 Status: job 'rferrara@DEENA+8' removed at 17:24:26.719
 Filter_status: done at 17:24:26.584


emacs was invoked with:

vorpal-blade:~: ( setenv PRINTER vln ; emacs & )
