   I can't answer my own question.  At one time there were 3 dots for the   
   whole queue and each of the two items, but when I looked later, both   
   jobs were still there but the dots were only for the whole thing.   And   
   now I've purged them all and reprinted both, successfully I guess   
   (except fof a seemingly coincidental unrelated. problem that the print   
   has turned grey eventhough there is plenty of ink.)
