No, but I've made changes to the printer settings and had them take
effect without doing that. For grins, I just restarted the qdaemon, and
lpd, with no change in the results. Not a big deal. I'll either live
with the blank pages, or change the printer to a generic/ascii printer
if someone doesn't feed me the magic potion...
