The following article from redhats website might be of interest, I went 
searching for it as I remember having serious problems when I wanted to try and 
use redhat-config-printer in that it didn't seem to be just using the database 
but doing something else as well.

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-config-list/2003-December/msg00044.html

Unless the updated rpm's that Tim advertised have changed the way the redhat-
config-printer works I think you'll probably find it easier to do it through 
cups directly instead of trying to use the gui.


Did you have a look through the CUPS configure instructions at 
LinuxPrinting.org http://linuxprinting.org/cups-doc.html . Looks good enough 
that you should be able to get the printer configured using CUPS directly. If 
you really want to use the redhat-config-printer gui to setup the driver I wish 
you the best of luck :)
