hi there guru's...
                      i recentley upgraded my kernel with what seemed no
probs.. Ive been printing from 
word perfect no probs and had been printing from Netscape and star office
before the upgrade...
however now i cqant print from star office and netscape..the print tool in
red hat is ok andtest pages all three are fine....
But netscape cant find the printer and neither can star office...
what changed (rather sdurprisingly) was that it is now lp0 and the lpr
command has become redundant
the printcap seems ok and it is in so far as redhat native stuff prints ok
but kde and other apps excepting WP are not getting the command ..ive tried
reinstalling the kernel..the printer..chaning the line etc...
the spool dir in print cap is
/var/spool/lpd/lp0
and 
lp=/dev/lp0

any idea's????????????????????????//
