Re: can't print

[Pollywog <pollywog@shadypond.com>]

I recompiled the kernel and this time I did not elect to put printer support 
into the kernel; I am using modules.  That did the trick.  Also, I could not 
get apsfilter to get things working, but I got things working using RedHat's 
Printtool.

thanks
