I just got what I hope is a hint as to where the problem might be buried.
I just upgraded file to 3.33-5 from unstable and tested again - and, behold,
printing worked with 2.4.4 - until I tried to play with pdq a little and see
what it would do with a pdf file.
Of course it refused to print the pdf, but subseqently refused to print all
other files (which it printed flawlessly before).
With Kernel 2.4.2 a pdf would not irritate pdq in any way. (Keep the flamethrowers
in your pocket. Apparently it _has_ something to do with the Kernel, since this is
the only thing that changed between tests)
I'm still puzzled, though, and would love to hear if anyone has an idea
about what may be behind all this.
regards,
Volker
