[Techtalk] Installing a printer

I've had pretty bad experience with Linux and printer installations, and 
here I go again. I've got Red Hat 7.3 and KDE, plus a printer on a USB. I 
used the KDE printer configuration tool and it detected the printer 
(including its brand name, so I know it got that part right). But when I 
try to print, nothing happens. The "lpq" command lists the print job as 
already done.

Any ideas?
