I checked my original RedHat documentation. The copyright date for RH 7.2 is 2001; it was the latest release when I bought it. If it was actually as old as Windows95, I would expect its deficiencies to be non-repairable. But it isn't, so I still would like to get it to work.

Okay, but my Epson printer worked out of the box under a recent Red Hat. All I did was run the printer config program from the desktop applications menu. I think the age of that distro is the source of your problems here.

Err, that's a little less than accurate.

I was thinking in terms of what was on my Windows partition when 7.3 came out, but I guess it was probably Windows 98, not 95.
