Mike:

	It may be that later version of Webmin are setup by default on RH to
use the /etc/printcap.local file.  That file is untouched by the lprng
daemon, except that they get included into /etc/printcap whenever the daemon
starts and the file gets regenerated.

	If you DON'T want to use the RH build-in tool, you can do everything
related to printing from Webmin.  It's only when you want to manage them
from either method where you run into problems.

I've not run into this problem...this may be a silly question, but are you 
running LPRng, or CUPS?  Webmin can't do CUPS (at least, not what I've 
been running), but I have been managing my LPRng based printers since 7.1, 
and continue to do so under Shrike, with Webmin.
