try:

printtool

or cups: www.cups.org (i think it is not yet part of RHL 7.2)

or this one:

http://www.turboprint.de/english.html -> i think u need to use the driver for the 4000 series.

Hmmm...

Well, I poked around for a couple hours reading documentation. The Network printer is listed in the properties of a Windows O/S as printing to the port \\CSCC\b311q_hp4050

Does that mean anything to anyone? I am told it is a network printer. We use Novell login.

Thanks
