Hopefully the problem introduced concerning parallel printers is 
repaired. I believe this was not an intentional move since they are

Finding and downloading the older rpms and using the --oldpackage flag 
for rpm is a god method to downgrade until the newer package which 
restores functionality is later introduced.
