Marc,
It has been awhile since I set this up and I do have the printcap
entries for these printers because I used lprng and printconfig
to set them up in 7.3 before I switched to CUPS. I will say when
you set this up with the client.conf you do not need to set up
the printer the printer is set by the server. If I go to localhost:/631
I don't have any printers because the client computer doesn't have
any printers. However If I  type lpr -P laserjet I can print a text
file. It also prints from all my applications. Now I also have cups
at work where I have setup printers on different linux computers
and they share all the printers with each other. These are setup
a little different as each is a server. You use http://localhost:631/admin
to set up your printers (atleast in 7.3 print configuration was used to
setup printers for lprng) admin will have a choice for adding printers
I use device ipp  and for uri I use 
http://servername:631/printers/printername
the rest of the choices were obvious. If you set up this way it you can
print and watch the printers page it will give you some information
about what is going on as well the cups logs in /var/log/cups
Now maybe print configuration is used for cups setup in redhat 9 but I
would double check since cups has its own configuration tool and doesn't
need one. You also need to make sure lpr is switched to cups not lprng
an easy way to tell is do man lpr if it is switched to cups it will
have common UNIX printing system  lpr(1) at the bottom of the page
and Easy Software Products at the top. I hope this helps also 
                        Linda
