Hear, hear.  I have the same problem. I just want to set up one RedHat Linux 
system to be the printer server (printer hooking up to the server's parallel 
port), and the other Linux system to be a client sending print jobs to the 
server.  I used RedHat GUI tool to set up and share the printer on the server.  
When I do http://localhost:631/printers on the client, the client does see the 
printer on the server.  I can even print a test page from here.  However, 
nothing happens when I print for real, no errors or anything.

The documents I read told me that the printer can be detected automatically by 
the client system, which seems like my situation.  Something is still missing.

Thank you
