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).
