I removed lpr.el.gz from site-lisp, and printing came right back. As I now recall, I was trying to put the extra packages I'd collected into a directory where emacs' automated extra package installer could see and list them. I thought they would show up under the 'Code local to your system' heading, and read somewhere that it looked in one of the two site-lisp directorys. I guess that one isn't it.. Thanks again. Joe.
