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.

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.
