I thought that I should clarify that this ONLY happens when the LPR daemon 
(which is running as root) calls the filter script (as the user that 
submitted the job) that HOME is not correctly set to the: "passwd" file 
entry for the user.  AFAIK, it works fine at all other times.  So, if you 
are trying to reproduce it you will have to do it exactly that way.
