printer configuration all commandline!!

[bruce]

thanks...

I cleared the queue
lprm a number of times, verified the queue is empty via lpstat..

resubmitted a test file, same results.

file is listed in the queue, but seems to be in a wait state.. and
again, using gedit, I can print the file.

curious eh?
