I wouldn't expect that to be a problem.  I've put printers on Fedora
Core 4, and CentOS 4 & 5 servers (which are virtually the same as RHEL),
and the Fedora (7 to 9) clients all found those printers automatically.

What OS are your clients running, and can you post the server's and
client's /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and /etc/cups/printers.conf files?

Another thing that springs to mind is whether you're using any sort of
authentication or limits on the CUPS server.

You will need manual configuring to print to servers that aren't on the
same LAN.  Print server discovery only works on the same network.

NB:  I don't know whether it'll work when using a virtual private
network to join together two separate networks (e.g. work and home).
That might well depend on how you do it.
