Sorry. I wrote that e-mail in stages, and not in a linear way. That
group of lines got out of place. Yes. It did print. It gave the results
similar to the test page, i.e. several lines of text printed with LF's
but no CR's.

Had to upgrade both printconf and printconf-gui. Didn't help.

This results in:

  error: failed dependencies:
	  alchemist >= 1.0.12 is needed by printconf-0.3.77-1
	  alchemist >= 1.0.12 is needed by printconf-0.3.77-1
	  foomatic >= 1.1-0.20011218.3 is needed by printconf-0.3.77-1
	  newt >= 0.50.30 is needed by printconf-0.3.77-1
	  Omni-foomatic is needed by printconf-0.3.77-1
 
rpm -q tells me that I have alchemist-0.16-3 and newt-0.50.22-2, and
that I don't have foomatic or Omni-foomatic. Guess I'll start getting
those next.
