Printing with RedHat 7.0 fails if the printer is connected to some network connected BSD system (I didn't try printing for directly connected printers): The problem is the following: I inspectected /var/spool/lpd/myprinter (for ex.) and found out that the filter script "filter" is a link to /usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters//master-filter Workaround: When deleting the link "filter" and exchanging it by a direct copy of /usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters//master-filter and calling "chmod o+x filter", the problem is away.

I have no idea why that would fix it. Could you return the result of and past it into the bug report?: ls -l /usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters/master-filter
The problem disappeared after a complete new installation of RH 7.0 (Previously, my RH 7.0 was an update made over RH 6.2).
After removing the rpms printtool-3.54-1.noarch.rpm rhs-printfilters-1.81-1.i386.rpm LPRng-3.6.22-5.i386.rpm and reinstalling printtool and rhs-printfilters from the RH Disk1 and installing LPRng-3.7.4-1.i386.rpm, the problem disappeared.
