Hang in there, Ben.  There's got to be a way to get both working.  :-)

Is there any reason why you used the "--without-usb" switch?  There's nothing
wrong with using it, of course, but if you found a build problem that needs
it as a workaround then I'd like to fix it.

Well, not knowing what's on the menu, it's hard to know what to order.  :-)
For starters, you could run the "script" command and invoke ptal-mlcd and
ptal-printd (after making sure any old instances are killed off).  Then try
printing something that causes the error messages to spew.  Once it has
quieted down, you can exit the shell spawned by script and send the
resulting "typescript" file.  If it's really big you can send it just to me
(both to dav...@hp... and pa...@rc...), but other than that we
can keep this discussion on the mailing list.
