checked thru the cups and cups-pdf folders. Nothing at all in the cups-
pdf or its child folders. The cups folder however has a number of filels 
numbered sequentially from c00046 - c00544. I don't know with what 
to view the files or even if they're helpfull or can be just deleted. I 
suspect they can be deleted. Could they represent stuck jobs? Thought 
I'd check the print que as well and nothing shows there which doesn't 
surprise me. Followed your link and found possibly a bug in evince so 
am installing acroread to see if that's the prob. Interesting that it might 
be a reader bug rather than printing. Will post back the result
