Please Paul, as I requested before, give us more information. I
really have no access to your machine, so you'll have to tell me what
you have. Then I will ask for more information or the output of some
tests. This may take some time, but quit likely in the end you'll
have a working printer.
Exim is *not* likely to be the culprit.
What do you mean with "exim was commented out" and what kind of error
message are you getting that make you think there is this hidden file
somewhere?
What kind of printer software are you running: CUPS, lprng or what?
PS: this is the second time I'm giving my time to help you solve this,
but if again you don't anwser, it will be the last. So please react.
