Thank you, all. Weird thing - I had a thought that I could verify what was happening by replacing texttops with pdftops. So I did that, and it printed, then looked at the log files, and it was no longer using texttops. So I put the files back where they came from, and it kept working.
So it fixed itself somehow - there weren't any updates that I knew of....
