I have a very similar setup with the same print controller.  This
morning I did a yum update and then set up one of the printers, a
Samsung laser and it worked fine.

The new system-config-printer is a bit confusing.  I installed the
printer using add printer and set it up as an LPD/LPR Host or Printer,
in this case with IP 192.168.3.102 and Printer name P2.

After the install, I clicked on the printer name and found a dialog in
which I had to set it as Default and then save it.  I then found there
are check boxes to set its state to Enabled, Accepting jobs and Shared.
It then worked fine.

However, my other printer is a Canon PIXMA ip-4000 which requires
turboprint to work, and the latest turboprint will not install in FC6T1
due to missing dependencies.

I hope this helps you get your working.
