Could this be bug 180325? 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=180325 
Is there a /dev/usb/lp0 created by udev (try "ls /dev/usb/lp0")? If there 
isn't, try running this as root: 
mkdir /dev/usb 
ln -s /dev/lp0 /dev/usb/lp0 
service cups restart 
This creates a /dev/usb directory if it is missing, symlinks lp0 there and 
restarts cups. Then your printer will work if it configured already, or you 
will be able to configure it with system-config-printer. Note that you need to 
run these 3 commands after each reboot (unless you stick them 
into /etc/rc.d/rc.local or somewhere like that).
