The component has changed its owner to me, so I'm assigning the bug to myself.

Comment 6 Brianna 2012-06-13 14:26:35 UTC

This bug seems to have be the cause of my printing issues in Bug #807446.   I have updated to the latest version of sed (sed-4.2.1-8.fc16.x86_64) and so far printing seems to be working as expected. 

Thanks everyone for your hard work!
