I'd never used the command before!
It told me to add a PPD file for the printer. So I added the correct one
for my printer. Then gpr doesn't complain at all. But I still get the
/errs... files.
It appears to be caused by the combination of lpr-ppd and
printfilters-ppd. Replacing lpr-ppd with lpr stops the /errs... files.
I can't find any 'errs' string in any of the relevant scripts (to help
pinpoint the source of the error messages).
