printing options - SOLVED

[bruce woller]

FWIW -  whenever I install from source on YDL I always use the 
--prefix=/usr option because, for whatever reason, YDL does not use 
/usr/local for directory prefix but just /usr.  Don't know why YDL 
differs from RH on this basic configuration but it does.

Bruce
