I ran etherreal and could see that the job was accepted however it never shows up anywhere. This is a LPD host que that in turn points to another cups que that prints PDF to a location /depot/PDF.Pub. If I print from cups webadmin to this queue the jobs shows up where I expect, if I print from windows to this queue it ends up in /var/spool/cups-pdf.

MIchael,

Thanks for the response, I am running a bare bones Gentoo box with no firewall installed. Like I said I see my machine accept the job when running a trace...

I am finding cups to be more work than it is worth, I am sorry to say :(
