I define humungous somewhat differently than you. That's how it is with
GUI's. It takes a lot of bits and a lot of processing power, even if all
you doing is printing text.

That says, that the printer object is unable to talk to lprportd .

FWIW, when you run iptrace, the stuff you see scrolling by on the screen
is notice from iptrace that it has processed packet. If you don't see any
notices, you are sure to have no packets to format.

>Something else I can try?

Try running lprportd from the command line. Maybe you'll get a message.
