[SLUG] Network printing problem on RH 6.1

Folks, we have an old RH 6.1 server which we use as a database server. For compatibility reasons, we need to stay with RH6.1. However, I had to reload the machine the other night and now network printing will not work. I keep getting the following errors in /var/log/messages when I try to print
