I have got to thank you! If you could install glibc.i686.  I guessed I
could do it.

Thinking there must be a compatible glibc.i686, I searched for mirrors and
I found the needed version on a mirror, at arsc.edu. I don't know why yum
couldn't find a similar version of the packages -- both glibc and
nss-softkn-freebl 32-bit -- but after downloading the packages, I did a
local install, and from there a bit of fooling with system-config-printer,
and  I'm printing.
