[Xprint] xprint produces no output

[John Francis Lee]

Greetings,

I have just installed FC3 and have configured my Ricoh AP1600 using the
AP2000 printer driver, as suggested by personnel at Ricoh on their list.

I have downloaded and installed xprint-2004-07-07-
release_009_001-0.9.001.i386.rpm, started the daemon, then logged off
and back on to initialize the XPSERVERLIST.
 [jfl at ws8 jfl-old]$ xplsprinters
 printer: ricoh@:33
 printer: xp_ps_spooldir_tmp_Xprintjobs@:33
 printer: xp_pdf_spooldir_tmp_Xprintjobs@:33

Now when I try to print a page from Firefox it takes an inordinately
long time to process the page, and when it is finally processed, the
lights on my ricoh flicker, the lcd says "processing"... and nothing
comes out of the printer. It is once again "ready" to print.

What can be going wrong here? 

I am trying to use xprint so that I can print Thai characters correctly
from a browser. I have never been able to do so using the mozilla
products, from Mozilla 1.0 through Firefox 1.0. I thought perhaps things
had finally progressed to where this would be possible, noting redhat's
advice to set MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO=1, but no joy yet. I remain the lone fool
bozo in Thailand who insists on running software that cannot print Thai
from the internet. Microsoft has been doing it for years of course.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
