I had to run from XFCE Desktop (then System > Administration > Printing)
to setup my networked JetDirect printer.  In my case I had to let the firewall
be modified in order to see the printer.  Once the printer had been set up,
then it was available to both XFCE and GNOME.

[To get XFCE, do something like "yum install @XFCE-DESKTOP",
logout, then choose "XFCE session" when logging back in.
GDM lets you choose GNOME vs XFCE at each login, and the choice
persists until explicit change.]
