Anyone know why?
Anyone know how I can get *all* the programs to recognize the real

Am I seeing a pattern here?
Suspecting that it is something particular to gnome, I started poking
around and discovered this:
(Creating this prompt on Tue Jul 18 at 13:57:19.)
$ cat ./du-a | grep -i "gnome" | grep -i "print" | grep -i "generic"
8 ./usr/share/libgnomeprint/2.10.3/models/GNOME-GENERIC-PS.xml
8 ./usr/share/libgnomeprint/2.10.3/printers/GENERIC.xml

The second one listed (GENERIC.xml) has content that makes this appear
to be the culprit. Should I erase this file? Or would that break things?
Also, one line listed in that file is pretty much the name of the first
file listed (GNOME-GENERIC-PS). Perhaps both of the first two files
should go?
Interestingly, Mozilla, Epiphany, and Firefox defaults to
"PostScript/hp1100".
The most annoying thing about the "generic postscript" selection is that
it spits out an extra blank page.
