Unfortunately this is not the problem-- I cannot connect to the printserver, even tho it has a fixed ip address,
and consequently no matter what is in /etc/cups/printers.conf the fc3 system cannot connect to it!
For example, I duplicated the working fc2 /etc/cups/printers.conf using the gui as suggested above in fc3
but the system can't access it.
Also, I should be able , as I can in fc2,
to browse to the server and congfiure it without any printer installed at all.
but this is not possible in fc3.
 no doubt because i'm a newb I'm making some incredibley stupid error,
only I don't know what it is.
Any help would be greatly appeciated.
TIA
Steve
