I finally figured out what was preventing me from building 24.1
--with-x-toolkit=gtk was the show-stopper.  Replacing that with
--with-x-toolkit=lucid does the trick.  But, 24.1 has no printer
icon at all.  You can easily make one to do the right thing...

(require 'ps-print)
(tool-bar-add-item-from-menu 'ps-print-buffer-with-faces "print" nil 
:label "Print" :vert-only t)
