There have been a number of printer related updates released for the FC1 i386.  
If you get the src rpms and rebuild for x86_64, the problems are resolved.

Not necessarily the solution you want to hear but this is reality. FC1 x86_64 
has been somewhat of a "low budget" effort by a few people and a lot of 
problem resolution requires the user to build their own updates.  This should 
greatly improve later in the FC2 cycle when the x86_64 updates (and ISOs) get 
built automatically.

I seem to remember having a printconf problem on the x86_64 and don't have any 
problems now that I have redhat-config-printer-0.6.79.5-1.
