Looks like it |was disabled from lpc. Yes, I did. No matter what I do, the "lp" and "text" queues say printing is disabled. However, the "ps" queue works fine. This strangeness is illustrated in the shell output below. I should mention this is with the lpd/lp* from 3.0-971208-SNAP. May be something has been fixed since then. But, I figured that I had to be doing something wrong with this lpd/lp* since I can't get a simple straight-through queue to work, but a queue with an output filter in it (my "ps" ghostscript queue) to the same print device works just fine.
