Is that all? When I upgraded just about everything broke (except for the 
printer drivers though!). What did you upgrade from? Your now running 
LPRng which is quite different from the old BSD printing system. One of 
the odder features is that it (should) regenerate printcap at boot.

Like certain other OS, that big list of printers really condenses down 
to a short list of drivers. I've had more success with ljet2p than ljet4 
(more recent versions of Ghostscript have 2 lj4 drivers - one with PJL, 
and one without - might be worth swapping what you're running). I have 
had an HP1100 working with the ljet2p ghostscript driver on RH5.2. You 
might have to manually edit the printer filter file to get the engine to 
run at a higher resolution (300x300 by default).
