Build Abiword 2.4.4

Just out of curiosity, I've compiled firefox 1.5.0.3 with debian patches hoping mostly on debian patches, since Debian claims to support it on ARM, but unfortunately it didn't help with printing problem. So, like Meanie mentioned before, it looks more like pdaXrom-specific issue.

Build Abiword 2.4.4

Meanie, what happened to your Abiword package?

I'm trying to setup printing to my usb printer.  Abiword crashes when I tell it to print (to ps) as well.  What packages would I need to print documents from Abiword --> printer (epson for testing, in the end I'll be using a linux-compatible samsung laser printer)?
When I run an lpstat, everything looks ok, but when I try to print a text file it says "lpr: unsupported format 'text/plain'!".
If I try to print a postscript file I get "lpr: Unsupported format 'application/postscript'!".
So I guess being able to print to postscript won't help me either.  I need to know what programs are involved in the printing process from "document in Abiword" --> usb printer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
