After some more digging (and the light of day) I think I may have it:

d [20/Feb/2005:23:52:51 -0500] print_job(0x40200008[3],

no, local.domain.com is not really the local domain ;)

So it is making it into the spool directory and then failing with
"unsupported format".

This was a Win2K test page.

So It's looking like the 22K client driver to me.  I'll try with a
postscript driver I saw mentioned.
