Bil,

This is a side benefit of running lprng on pillage.  No we have not 
advertised it heavily, but it is another path to information about print 
files on pillage, provided they were sent via klpr, web submissions bypass 
lprng, with the exception that files going to ep1 will still go out through 
lprng and should be found by lpq -P ep1-ipm.
