Please check to see if the job shows up in your print que. Type ....

        clf 
        surf (peaks)
        print
        system ("lpq")
        pause (10)
        system ("lpq")

Does the job show the first time the que is displayed?

Does the job remain in listed in the que when the que is displayed the second 
time?
