Yup.  From the email I have been trading, the problem only shows up on
512K systems.  It looks like DMCS doesn't leave enough free memory for
the 1.3 print drivers, which take more memory than the old 1.2 print 
drivers did.  I haven't traced it or anything, but it looks like the 
printer gets some initialization data then the driver fails on an 
allocation and returns with no error messages.  Oh well. :^(
