I figured out my postscript problem; I needed sleep!  I had setup 2
print filters, one for text, other for postscript, but forgot to do "lpr
-P postscript_printer filename"  which of course just prints text.  :P

As for getting redhat to print that 1st line of every page, I've had no
success.  Nothing beats editing a file by hand.  I now have a working
printer for both text & postscript.  I think if it weren't for RPM, I
might go back to slackware.
