Garbled Printing output

Hi all,
This is on Redhat Enterprise Linux 3. Latest stable Abiword (2.0.9), compiled
from source. Configure option in abi directory only:
--prefix=/usr/local/abiword

When printing a very simple document, the output from the printer is junk. The
letters got on top of each other, the font is not even correct ( I use Times
in the document), probably more like a monospace font from the print out. I
tried print to a file, and the resulting .ps file looks fine in ghostview or
ggv. However, printing that .ps file result the same garbled output. Then I
tried to run ps2pdf on the .ps file, and print the pdf file using acroread.
That looks fine. I am not sure where's the problem? is this abiword problem,
or something else?

Then I realize there's a --with-gnome option in configure. Re-configuring
abiword and re-compile, I got the gnome print dialog box, with CUPS selected
as default as the driver. Printing from that version looks fine.

So all in all, my problem is solved. But I'm just curious why abiword doesn't
work if I don't use --with-gnome options. Is this known problem ?

Thanks for any help.
