Thanks Lenard,

Good idea, but my printers.conf looks good. Here is what I have (on my
FC3 machine):

# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.1.22rc1
# Written by cupsd on Fri 29 Jul 2005 11:54:44 PM EDT
<DefaultPrinter net1300>
Info Created by redhat-config-printer 0.6.x
DeviceURI socket://192.168.0.150:9100
Location HP LaserJet 1300 JetDirect
State Idle
Accepting Yes
JobSheets none none

KLimit 0
</Printer>

Here's the same file from my RH9 machine, which works fine printing to
the JetDirect printer. The "DeviceURI" lines on both files are the same.

# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.1.17
