What were you trying to do?

        Help a user print a file from within ez (using the menus).
        We tried to print the same file to a printer that required
        Kerberos authentication, and to one that did not.

        The user's Kerberos tickets were expired when we began.

What's wrong:

        The same informational messages appeared in the ez window
        for each printing attempt. However, the file did not
        print on the printer that required authentication. Several
        invocations of lpq suggested that the file-printing job
        had not been queued to this printer.

        There were no apparent error messages (e.g., in the console
        window).

        The file printed successfully on the other printer. Once
        the user obtained valid Kerberos tickets, the file printed
        successfully on either printer.

What should have happened:

        There should have been a warning or error message indicating
        that the print attempt was not successful.
