I'll admit, i haven't tested printing much recently. My two primary Redhat based desktop boxes are still running the original lprng that came with 6.2.

The biggest annoyance was just how difficult it was to configure printing. I had a very difficult time encouraging other tech-newbies to use Red Hat because there didn't seem to be a good way to admin the printing subsystem. Sure, I can create printcap files in VI, but they can't
The "MPlayer packager" (if you mean the folks who write it) never provides binaries for the reasons i've elaborated on earlier.You have to compile MPlayer with libdvdcss support in order for it to becapable of playing DVDs. THe same is true for Xine.I'll check it. They wouldn't be able to ship libdvdcss, but if the MPlayer packager cared enough, he might have compiled it with the libraries and then just not ship them. Xine looks for the libraries at runtime meaning that they may or may not be there and it will load and work. Does that make sense.
