	I think your problem arises from the fact that there isn't
either a printer spooler present, or to the spooler simply not doing
it's job, being depressed by some lack of configuration. If you use lpd
or lprng (I think RH uses either of those), try to check the status of
the printer with lpc. In here, you can restart them and do all sorts of
nifty things. 

	I did have similar problems when having a Parallel port Zip disk
connected. Make sure you have the lp module in the kernel and look at
the printer logs in /var/log. Unfortunately, I haven't still had my
coffee, so I can't be of much more help at the moment, but it should be
easy to sort out.

	Best regards,
	José
