Hi John,
Have you updated all the print related packages for 7.2? There was a
problem with (at least) the stp driver in the release.
foomatic, ghostscript, printconf, Omni all have updates.
Updating all the print related rpms, and then running the following
commands solved the problem for me.
delete the printer definition via printconf-gui
rm -rf /var/spool/lpd/*
redefine the printer via printconf-gui
/sbin/service lpd stop
rm -rf /var/cache/foomatic/{pcache,compiled}/*
/usr/sbin/printconf-backend --force-rebuild
/sbin/service lpd start
By the way, there is an enigma specific mailing list at:

This question has become something of a FAQ there. ;)
Hope that helps,
