I only just joined today. Can you point me to the message?

Did all that, I've checked the samba configuration, user and login stuff, a
dozen times. Once again, before with RH9, I switched to LPRng, did nothing
whatsoever else, and it took off like the proverbial bat. Fedora isn't even
giving me the option AFTER I installed LPRng. Once I installed it and
uninstalled CUPS, the print system switcher (which I looked at just to see if
LPRng would finally show up) told me I had NO printing system installed.

I've been into that program until it's sick of me. No help. Ditto for the
browser-based CUPS configuration. It still doesn't work.
