Using system-config-printer, I
added gc-hp041, HP LaserJet 4050

I applied the changes and exited the gui.
I then issued
service cups restart

cd /etc/cups
[root@SERVER cups]# grep 041 cupsd.conf
[root@SERVER cups]# grep 041 /etc/printcap
[root@SERVER cups]# grep 041 printers.conf
[root@SERVER cups]# uname -r

[root@SERVER cups]# more /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 5)
[root@SERVER cups] rpm -qf /usr/sbin/system-config-printer
system-config-printer-0.6.116.10-1

Looking at URL http://localhost:631/printers, the gc-hp041
printer is not listed.

gc-hp041 does appear through the program setup.

My main concern is that the printer does not show up as a
shared printers to the Windows computers on my network. This
is a major problem.

smbclient -L SERVER -N

ADMIN$ IPC IPC Service (SERVER - Chemistry
Samba Server)
gc-hp106 Printer Created by redhat-config-printer
0.6.x
gc-hp201 Printer Created by redhat-config-printer

...

How do I fix the problem? Desperate.
printtool, a link to system-config-printer, was working fine until
about a month ago.

Maybe I'm missing something, but you mentioned the CUPS web interface. Why
don't you use that?
