Well one observation may be relevant if you used system-config-printer
to configure your Linux printers. I am not sure about FC3 but in
earlier Fedoras choosing to share your printers did not work. To have
you printers shared your had to not indicate that they were shared in
system-config-printer.

In FC4 this was fixed and to have the printers shared you have to
indicate that they are shared. Could this be your problem?
