By default, the print command will remove the .n files. Note the
following from the print.c source file.

#define print_PRINTCOMMAND "/usr/ucb/lpr -n -Ppp; rm -f /tmp/%s.n; rm -f
/tmp/%s.n.dvi "  /* if overridden by the profile 'printcommand' entry,
the troff file (usually /tmp/%s.n) won't be automatically deleted . */

So my guess is that you have either a local or global preference or init
file that is improperly overriding the default in the source without
including the rm -f /tmp/%s.n command.
