have you tried running print conf? it is under the system setting menu under the title of printing. If not I would try running that. if that failes I would try using the common unix printing system (CUPS). See this link for help with cups setup http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.3-Manual/custom-guide/s1-printing-cups.html

What type(s) of printers do you have? have you checked to make sure your printer(s) are compatible with linux? check out http://www.linuxprinting.org/database.html to find out.:D
