I have a Brother HL-1440 printer running on a two-port print server (Netgear PS-110). This has worked great under FC5, FC4, even winblows, but not under FC6.
The server has IP address of 192.168.0.70 with the Brother laser on PS-Port_1 and an Epson Stylist Photo 2200 on PS-Port_2. This is my private network consisting of five (5) computers, two (2) printers, and a tape backup. My wife is the only user of the inkjet.
My problem is that I can't seem to get the print server set up under FC6. My main computer is "linux2.home" with an IP of 192.16830.15. There is an 8 port switch from the gateway (192.168.0.1) connecting all the local stuff together and to the cable modem.
What would be a working solution using "system-config-printer" under FC6? Anyone out there have something similar?
TIA, Tom

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.

It was not the actual cause things weren't working but it did make me think about things.
When I went into another machine and looked at the setup, I saw that I had changed the IP from 192.168.0.70/Port-1 to 192.168.0.75/Port-1. Then realized that the worksheet I was using was a previous version. It's all working now. Disease progression is taking it's toll on thinking ability. Demoralizing to realize I missed something so simple.
Thanks, Tom

I found I had to install glib and gtk+ which I normally would have had installed if I had done custom selection at install. Turboprint 1.94-3 now works just fine with FC6T1 and my Canon printer.
I hope this helps you get your working.

It can happen at any age with or without a disease. Being 70, I get to chalk it off to "senior moments."

Which things in particular were confusing? I can see that it would make things less confusing if it created new queues as already 'Enabled' and 'Accepting jobs', so I'll try to fix that.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks, Tim. */
