xfprint-manager setup problem

I seemed to have a good handle on every aspect of XFce-4, but the
print manager. I could really use some help in understanding what I
am doing wrong or not doing that I should...
I am two PC's on a LAN with XFce-4 as the WM. On the laptop, it's
Mandrake 9.1 with 'kdm' running XFce-4 in a session. The other is a
Red Hat 9 PC with 'gdm' running XFce-4 in a session.
The two printers I wish to set-up in 'xfprint-manager' are LPD
printers. The print server is an "Intel Netport Express 10/100"
Printer #1
Printer Name: Epson ActionLaser 1500
Alias Name: eps1500
Server Name: print
Server Queue Name: lpt1_passthru
Printer #2
Printer Name: Epson Stylus Color 660
Alias Name: eps660
Server Name: print
Server Queue Name: lpt2_passthru
I use 'CUPS' while in KDE apps, and sometimes 'xpp' in others.
I can't seem to find the correct wording for 'xfprint-manager' to
connect to either of these printers when doing a drag-n-drop from
'xffm'. None of the common and obvious printer queue names see work.
Printing works fine outside of 'xfprint-manager'.
What am I doing wrong and what should I do to make 'xfprint-manager'
see my printers?
TIA,
Paul
