Through previous editions of Fedora and Red Hat I have blundered into

For some reason, now it doesn't. I believed it was a Dlink product,
although all it says on the box is "Model PRS-301PE. I used
system-config-printer and set up an LPR connection using the box's fixed
IP address (of which I am certain) and port number 9100, of which I am
reasonably sure). When I click on the "print test page" box there is no
indication of any kind of error situation, other than nothing happening
with the printer.
Might possibly be a bug in CUPS. Could you file a bugzilla report
please?

As I have said many times don't use system-config-printer to configure a
printer. Use the CUPS web address: localhost:631.
Although in the release notes for FC6 they have finally fixed
system-config-printer. We will have to wait and see.
I've filed the bug report, which apparently gets handled by Tim. I
tried the Web interface as suggested by Aaron and also the tool under
KDE (Kprint?). No joy.
I have also been unable to get my Canon i9900 USB printer working. I
had assumed it was because there doesn't seem to be a driver for it out
of the box, but could be a bug in Cups. I don't normally use this
printer for anything but photographic work, and have yet to implement a
solution for dealing with Nikon raw files (plug-in for Gimp, get
Photoshop and other tools working under Wine, or other solution) so I'm
in no hurry to get this working under Fedora. The fact remains that I
have two printers and neither of them works under Fedora.
