    I'm performing a F8 -> F9 upgrade at the moment. So far I haven't 
ran into any problems following the Yum Upgrade FAQ wiki page. I don't 
do much printing from my laptop so not sure I could provide any insight 
on any printing problems.

    I know when I tried to upgrade to F8 before it blew chunks so I'm 
hoping I don't have that problem with the upgrade to F9.
