Thanks Johannes. I'll try this and keep troubleshooting if the problem 
persists. Haven't tried having it print to a file if it won't go direct to 
the printer. 

I can always print a single job after logging in but after that I can't 
predict how many I'll be able to do before this error occurs. I believe it 
started after the latest KDE update.

What is cupsdoprint complaining about if the syntax works from the command 
line _with_ the addition of a file on the end?

Thanks,
Stan
