You were right. 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.
