You should make sure your printer is correctly configured before you worry about application-level details like specifically printing photos. You should be able to: echo "I'm alive" | lpr to print some text (use lpr -P /dev/XXX to specify printer, see man lpr) or: lpq to see the printer queue. You might want to fool around with redhat-config-printer since you're using redhat! Once CUPS or gimp-print is setup, you should be able to specify a nice driver which gives you most, if not all, of the same controls for the printer that you see in your windows printer dialog boxes... if there are multiple drivers, you might want to experiment to find the one that works best *for you*.
