Tom, did you ever get this straightened out?
I would first of all upgrade the cups rpms, drivers, xpp, kups, libcups etc
that are in many of the" unsupported" mirrors for i586. Then try again.
A couple of times I had to reboot to get things to work as I don't
always have the expertise to make the latest changes initaize.
At times I have had success with upgrade and reboot.
If you did get it to work let us know !
