If you schedule the job to "Never" (see "Advanced Settings" tab in
the print dialog). Do you see it held in the job viewer? If yes,
you should be able to access the print file somewhere in the CUPS spool
directory /var/cups/spool/). Can you check if this file is OK (if
you can access it, of course).
