(Is this a hunch, or do you know a reason why this might be?)

Does this mean that you could use lprm on at least one queue?  Or that,
like me, you had to manually remove the files from /var/spool/...?  (If
you could delete from your primary printer's queue, were you also aware
that lprm takes a ``-P'' command, exactly as does lpr?  Not that it ever
helped me...*grin*)
