I'm trying to write a custom backend (ksh script) for a print queue that will encrypt a file then FTP it to a server. I had been testing the script by just executing it by hand and giving it a file as an argument. When I run the script manually, everything works perfectly. But when I run the script by passing a document to the print queue, everything works except for the encryption. I tried modifying the script to dump some output of the gpg command to the files such as `gpg --list-keys`, and nothing is put in the file. It's like it is not even running gpg.

Please let me know if you need me to clarify the problem any more.

Could it to do with the user id's environmental settings?

I think I may have figured it out. I have it working (I think) right now by using the env command to change the HOME variable while it's running the encryption command. That seems to work, but I won't know until later tonight when the application tries to send files to that printer automatically.
