I used to have this sort of grief getting things set up. The I switched
to usign LPRng, and I've never looked back. You can get rpm's for RH6.2
quite happily, and setting up jetdirect cards is a breeze. Check it out
(http://www.lprng.com). If you want more info, mail me, and I can send
you my printcap.

HTH,
