Now I'm getting this error here: 

	waiting for queue to be enabled on oak.ksu.ksu.edu

Is my setup incorrect, or is it the printer that's the problem? lpc 
show's the following:

	lp:
	        queuing is enabled
        	printing is enabled
        	no entries
        	printer idle           

I'm not sure why it won't work...
