I think I missed something?  Does your printer not print at all?  Can you print
text (lpr /etc/group)?  Do you still have font problems in gnumeric?

Make sure you have urw-fonts installed if your are just having problems printing
postscript files (the output of GUI apps, etc...) and if you are still having
problems with gnumeric.  urw-fonts are required for several packages to work
correctly (ghostscript for one),  but since >RH6.2  I've seen several
installtions where this, for some reason, wasn't installed and it isn't
registered as a dependency for ghostscript (at least not on these boxes).
