"Pocket Printserver" Dongle doesn't work with (64 bit) Fedora 6

[David Liguori]

Through previous editions of Fedora and Red Hat I have blundered into 
making this Ethernet to parallel printer box  work (on a Laserjet 6MP). 
    For some reason, now it doesn't.  I believed it was a Dlink product, 
although all it says on the box is "Model PRS-301PE.  I used 
system-config-printer and set up an LPR connection using the box's fixed 
IP address (of which I am certain) and port number 9100, of which I am 
reasonably sure).  When I click on the "print test page" box there is no 
indication of any kind of error situation, other than nothing happening 
with the printer.

Just to try something different I selected "Samba" instead of "LPR" and 
used the address of the box that appears in Windows and Samba.  Again, 
nothing.

Below is the resulting printers.conf file:

I tried temporarily relaxing SE Linux, to no avail.

For reference, yes this setup works, and has always worked, with various 
flavors of Windoze.
