Well, I've checked everything over again. It turns out that somehow,
printer support wasn't being included again. Also, I started getting the
PAM messages on my screen, instead of /var/log/*. I simply reinstalled
Red Hat, and all is fine. (It's amazing how much configuration you can do
to a machine...)

Also, it's still /dev/lp0. I don't know why... I thought I saw something
in the kernel source about address-to-device mapping, and it still would
be /dev/lp0 (base address is 0x3bc)

Thanks for all of the help. :-)
