I am missing something here.....

I have 'all' privileges (with the exception of bypass).  I have set default to
the dqs$server default directory.  I want to print the netserver.log.

"$ print/queue=test/form=psp80 netserver.log",  I say. 
		(psp80 = ASCII 80 col format for my postscript symbiont)

The printer 'processing' light blinks happily for a bit, the queue tells me
that the document is printing, the light stops blinking and everything is
back at idle.  A show queue tells me the document is 'retained on completion'.

All the equipment is happy, but NO PRINTOUT !!

Now, if I copy the document to another disk, I can then print it with all the
same attributes and everything happens INCLUDING a printout appearing...

One more tidbit.  If I set default to sys$manager, I can print some files and
not print some files.  No matter who the owner is. (With all priv I didn't
think it would matter anyway.)

This problem (I believe) is affecting my using the dqs.  The file is transferred
to the server correctly, the server thinks the file gets printed, and everyone
is happy, but NO PRINTOUT !!.
