a) I not use "printer configuartion tool".
b) I use 'vim' + 'elinks(or firefox) http://localhost:631'
(and occasionally 'lpadmin') Why? Because I use cups print system,
then I use the configuration tools developed by cups team.
On server and client fc5 host:
o Update cups to last (1.2) version
o If exist: mv /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.rpmnew /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
o Restart cups.
o Setup the correct host.domain name resolver (via /etc/hosts
or /etc/resolv.conf+some DNS server)
On the server machine:
o Modify the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file, this is my diff
> [root at mail ~]# diff /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.default /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
> 17c17,18

o Restart cupsd
o Point your browser to http://localhost:631 (or http://servercups:631
from the client machine)
o GoTo "Administration" link.
o Adjust the server setting.
o Add and configure your printers.
On the cliente host:
o List the new printer, just shared with a 'lpstat -t'.
o Print.
Hope this help, and sorry for my bad English!
