There are two items listed below that may interest you. You'll find
links to those items listed on the "Red Hat Linux 7.2 General
Advisories" page.

----- 2001-11-27 Updated print drivers available ------

Eleven popular print drivers depend upon a perl feature which they do
not
enable at run time. This causes printing to fail when the feature is not
available.

Affected Drivers:
=================
cljet5
laserjet
lj4dithp
lj5gray
ljet2p
ljet3d
ljet3
ljet4d
ljet4
ljetplus
pxlmono
-----------------------------------------

----- 2001-10-31 Comprehensive Printing Update -------

A collection of security fixes, bug fixes, and functionality updates,
including the Omni print drivers from IBM.
-----------------------------------------

Does it sound like either of these might help you?

Am I to assume from the lack of response that noone has the answer? :)

That's hard to believe!

Where does RedHat 7.2 keep the kernel C header files?
