I am using RedHat 7.1 (kernel 2.4-2) without Xwindows. I have lexmark 4039laser printer. I would like to know how to setup the printer locally and then share it using samba/lprng.

Even though I know this doesn't exactly fix the problem for you. If you have access to a machine with Xwindows on it go in and use the printtool to set up the printer and test it out there if you can. Then take the /etc/printcap off of that machine and install it on the one you don't have Xwindows on.

I know this isn't much help but I don't do much manual configuration.
