I have the same Netgear printserver.

Run system-config-printer-gui and add the printer(s) with queue type
"UNIX printserver LPD", server is NETGEAR for me and queue is "P1" and
"P2". This creates following in

/etc/cups/printers.conf

<DefaultPrinter HP-LJ-6MP-PS>
Info Created by redhat-config-printer 0.6.x
DeviceURI lpd://NETGEAR/P1
Location Hewlett Packard LaserJet 6MP-PS
State Idle
Accepting Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
</Printer>

No problem here with both FC2 and FC3.
