My suggestion for you is to go grab one the magicfilter or aps filter
packages, from sunsite.unc.edu and install them, Not that RedHat's
package won't work, I just find these a little better for a new user,
especially the aps package, just like a windows install, UGH!

Nenscript is a seperate RPM package, with 4.0 the latest one is
nenscript-1.13++-5.
Hope this is of some help, contact me off line if you need help
installing any othe filter packages. These printing problems
have been discussed to death on this list already.
