If you install and enable CUPS you can (and should) configure your printers from its web interface (http://localhost:631/). You don't need printconf-gui at all. ....

You'll need to run "/sbin/chkconfig lpd off" and "/sbin/chkconfig cups on", then either reboot or run "/sbin/service lpd stop" and "/sbin/service cups start". Then you should be able to configure your printer from a web browser on the local machine.

Tried this. Failed. CUPS reports that I have successfully modified the printer. I then go to print a test page. Nothing happens. Checking the jobs queue, I see that the job is marked completed -- but only by having been cancelled.

Note: I haven't (consciously, at least) installed LPRng. So I don't know what it is.
