Printing problem...out of the blue



I recently transfered my RH 5.1 installation to a new (bigger) hdd.  I 
copied everything over to their appropriate mount 
point/partitions/directories with a "cp -avx <source> <target> series of 
commands.

I have it running fine now...to a point.  Linux boots up fine.  I can run 
enlightenment and windowmaker without problems.  KDE is another story but 
I am trying to work that out in the kde-list.  Anyway, I tried to print a 
file this morning from kedit, the kde editor (didn't try from emacs but 
expect the same result).  It wouldn't print.

I have an Epson Color Stylus 600 and ghostscript 5.10 installed.  I had 
it setup to print at 360dpi from lp, 720dpi from lp0, and 1440dpi from 
lp1 and it worked fine before the transfer to a new hdd.

I started control-panel and started the printer config tool (as su) and 
tried to print the ascii test page.  It failed.  I CAN print ascii direct 
to the port, however.  The message I get when trying to print ANYTHING 
other than ascii direct to port is this:

Error printing test page
Error reason: lpr:/usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters://testpage.asc temp file 
write error

lpr: /usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters: empty input file
Child process exited abnormally

What does this mean?  How do I go about fixing this?  

Thanks for any aid,

patrick
