Proprietary - no!  Red Hat ships multiple printing subsystems (lpd and
cups) and both are open source.  Nothing propietary about them.

For cups, it's in /etc/cups.  Here's my config file for my simple 1
printer setup on my RHEL 3 system:

[root at p6000 cups]# cat /etc/cups/printers.conf
# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.1.17
