Ed: have you considered running Pine locally on your Linux box?  Maybe 
I've read your note wrong, but it looks like you're telneting to your ISP 
and running pine from the unix prompt.  By running pine locally, you can 
not only can you receive e-mail to your local linux account, but you can access your "real" account on 
your ISP's host from your local pine session.  Here are the things I had 
to set up in my .pinerc file (with lots of help from fellow linuxians):
(all these are for my account)
user-domain=csimon.cais.com  (your linux box's local "domain") 
smtp-server=cais.com
nntp-server=199.0.216.204 (this is a news server at my ISP)
incoming-folders={cais.cais.com}inbox (this is your inbox on your ISP's 
host, when you access it, you'll be prompted for a userid & password)

With a local pine session going, you shouldn't have any problems getting 
your printer to work.  As far as the linux ver. of pine:  it came w/ the 
CDs w/ slackware.

Good Luck,  Chuck
