Where's the other printing system?

[Dave Washburn <dwashbur nyx net>]

Hello,
I just took the plunge into Fedora Core 2 and I have a problem.  The printer 
in my house is on a Windows machine, hence I have to SAMBA to it from my 
Linux box.  When I was using Red Hat 9, I had no end of trouble trying to get 
CUPS to talk to this printer.  I finally used the print system switcher to 
change it to LPRng, and the two machines lived happily after ever.

When I moved to Fedora, I discovered to my chagrin that there was no LPRng 
package listed, and the print system switcher only listed CUPS, which is 
still giving me the same trouble as before.  So I downloaded a tarball of 
LPRng, built and installed it, but it still doesn't show up as an option for 
printing systems; the print system switcher still only shows CUPS.  But CUPS 
can't find this printer on the (Windows) network, so I have no print 
capability.  I'd like to switch the system to LPRng rather than waste time 
continuing to fight CUPS.  Can somebody help me figure out how to accomplish 
this?

The printer is a Lexmark Z53 and the machine it's hooked to by USB is running 
Windows XP Professional; Samba version is 3.0.3-5.  Feel free to let me know 
if any more info is needed.

Thanks!
