I installed FC9 last week for my workstation in the office. Everything 
seems ok except the printing. I can print from Firefox, from 
Thunderbird, but not from the command line. Both lp and lpr give me 
error "/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopxl failed". The jojs do get sent to the 
printer, but I just get trash on every page.
