Print Code problems on RHEL

[Michael Schwartz]

Did you use the "raw" mode when you setup the printer?  Linux may be adding
things to the print stream that the label printer doesn't want.

You can setup a printer exactly like you setup the Toshiba label printer,
but direct the print to a file.  Then you can examine the print file with a
hex editor to see what the full print stream looks like.
