This one (local to m11-226-2, which runs "europa" in Bldg11 Dispatch) works:
paul@M11-226-2% ls -lg /site/lpdfilters/staff_ln03filter
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root     system       4096 Feb 17 16:58 /site/lpdfilters/staff_ln03filter
paul@M11-226-2% sum /site/lpdfilters/staff_ln03filter 
39525     4


This one, which is in the distribution, doesn't:
paul@pal5% ls -lg /usr/lib/lpdfilters/staff_ln03filter
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root     staff        3072 Aug 23  1987 /usr/lib/lpdfilters/staff_ln03filter
paul@pal5% sum /usr/lib/lpdfilters/staff_ln03filter 
48437     3

It is of note that this second file is *also* on europa, as
"/site/lpdfilters/staff_ln03filter.old".  When used on a VS2000
controlling an LN03, it does not spit out the last page of the file,
but leaves the data a flashing "6" on the printer.  The last page
comes out at the top of the next submitted job, which is appropriately
shifted downpage, and does not get *its* last page, and so on...
Given the difference in size between the two versions of
staff_ln03filter, I suspect there are other differences, too.
