First attempt with Slic3r- filament feed not working

I'm new to Pruse and to using Slic3r.  I want to experiment with wax filament so I created custom material and printer setting for the wax (85º bed & 145º extruder), but when I start a print, the filament feed wheels don't even turn.  Clearly, there's something missing here, but I have no idea what.

Help!

 can print at temps lower than 90 I think. I do not do low temp stuff, but min temp can be changed with gcode I believe.

@jerry-s3

Does it make sense for the code to not allow the feed motor to turn on if the extruder is at too low a temperature?  Otherwise, the printer is attempting to print as normal (meaning it moves along it's deposition path).
