gnus RSS via nntp//rss 0.5-1 beta (Windows XP sp2)

Hi,
I recently installed emacs 22.1 (i386-precompiled mingw) and decided to try using gnus as an RSS reader using the same "method" I have been using for a long time using Outlook Express. Namely I run the nntp//rss local server (under Sun Java SE 6) and set the nntp server to `127.0.0.1' . I am pleased that it works nicely. I know there is an RSS reader capability built in to gnus but I am used to reading my newsfeeds in a newsreader just like one reads Usenet posts. One security disadvantage of this setup is that port 119 is opened in the firewall while nntp//rss is running.
For the link to nntp//rss go to : http://www.methodize.org/nntprss .

Now if I could only get emacs to print on my HP Deskjet. I have read other posts in this NG and see that it can be awkward to get emacs to print. I don't have a postscript laser printer installed, just an HP inkjet.
