Redhat uses ghostscript as a printer filter.  For some reason it is
compiled without the stylus color printer drivers even though these are
included with the ghostscript source code.  I got mine working by
recompiling the ghostscript source code and enabling the stylus color
printer drivers.  Works fine now - though it was a hassle...

Good luck
