Sorry, Paul, I thought I'd made clear that that is exactly what I did. The error 'bad printer name' comes back from the running print server and is echoed to the terminal.

The full output is:

Satatus Information:
 sending job 'nick at adamselene+405' to Brother:@localhost
 connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1
 connected to 'localhost'
 requesting printer Brother:@localhost
 job 'nick at adamselene+405' transfer to Brother:@localhost failed
  error 'NONZERO RFC1179 ERROR CODE FROM SERVER' with ack 'ACK_FAIL'
  sending str '^Brother:' to Brother:@localhost
 error msg: 'bad printer name'

Hope that helps.
