[PLUG] Printing Problems with Abiword

Not sure what else there is to say.

I am using RH7.3, Abiword 1.0, the printer is lp0.

When I preview the print job, it comes out as printed.  Which is to say,
it previews in the wrong font just like it prints in the wrong font.

However, when I change the "lpr" command in the print window to lpr
-Plp0, I get an error message saying that lp0 does not exist even though
that is what my /etc/printcap shows as my printer.
