The only thing that I can think of is the change in printer control from 
RHL 7.3 to FC 2. Are you using the printer control from RHL 7.3 or the 
preferred method used by FC2?

There were discussions that talked about printer problems and solutions 
earlier on the list, maybe 3 or 4 months back.

I have a parallel printer that works, so I did not pay close attention 
to the thread.
