F9 - LTSP5 and CUPS Printer Configuration

I've installed Fedora 9 basic install, followed by a 'yum update' of the
system, followed by a 'yum install ltsp-server'.   Pretty straightforward
installation following instructions in the Wiki.  LTSP working spectacularly
via PXE TC's.

The server environment has two NIC's, eth0 faces the terminals, eth1 faces
the 'internet'.  ltspbr0 is bridged to eth0, of course.  All is working well
as far as TC connections and internet browsing from those connections.

I give that detail information because I'm having a CUPS printer
configuration issue, and I'm thinking it may be a networking problem (?).

>From the console Gnome login, I run System -> Administration -> Printing,
which runs the system-config-printer v0.7.82.5 program.  If I choose the Add
Printer icon, it says 'Searching Printers', and that's it.  It just hangs
there until infinity (or at least I assume infinity - haven't actually
waited that long).

I swapped over to browsing to the CUPS manager via htt://localhost:631 from
a root GUI console login.  Connect to CUPS, then choose Add Printer, punch
in the Printer Name, Location, Description, choose Continue, and again it
just hangs to infinity and beyond.

So I'm stumped!  This is tech support yelling "I can't print!".  Has anyone
else seen this issue on a stock install? and what did you do to alleviate
the issue?  My error_log is appended below.  As you can see it just kinda
-stops-.  The printer that I'm attempting to install is a standard TCP/IP
network printer located at 192.168.1.150 port 9100, and as you can see in
the log below CUPS is seeing it.

Also I'd like to avoid CLI setup of printers.  That's why we use LTSP,
right?

Thanks.
