gnome-lokkit_0.50-21.8.0_i386.rpm       zlib-devel_1.1.4-8.8x_i386.rpm

It was after these updates that I became unable to print.
Does anyone know what here may have caused the problem?

If you recall, I have a Lexmark z33 and had been using the driver they provide
from their website with LPD.  After running apt-get update and upgrade last weekend
my printer stopped functioning with any app but KWord.  Now, for some reason, it is 
not even printing with KWord, likely because I have tried every other possible configuration of CUPS+foomatic, LPR, and goat sacrifice and have confused the system.
I have reinstalled the printer driver about a dozen times.  
This driver had worked fine with RH 7.2, 6.3 and 8.0 and WAS working with 9 until
last weekend when I ran these updates.  I can still drive the printer from my OS X
iBook, so the printer itself is fine.
If I can identify a specific package that has disable the driver, I will remove
and reinstall the older version, hopefully to regain printing capabilities.
I would gladly provide and further information that would assist a diagnosis
of this problem for me, and deeply appreciate any offered assistance.

I'm crossposting to my local LUG.  (sorry)
