Something very strange here -- I found the postscript printer option;
it was off the displayed page and not listed in the mfg list. I
can now print OK and the error messages no longer appear when
I run redhat-config-printer, but I don't know why those messages
disappeared.
Also puzzling --- the release notes say that lprNG remains the
default for this release, but the test page said it was printed
useing CUPS and I got files under /var/spool/cups instead of
under /var/spool/lpd. Any idea how this happened?
