Can we get some more basic information?
What distro are you using? How are you linking this printer up (by
your post I assume parallel?)

Or if you want a quick guess-answer I'd say remove the printer through
the GUI, boot the computer with the printer plugged in and switched on
and hopefully kudzu in Redhat will pick it up.
