Look, this is a bit thin info. You surely are able to find out which version
of RedHat, and which version of CUPS, no?

Where is this printcap located? In /etc/printcap? And is it re-generated if
you delete it?

So you *are* able to add printers, running the "lpadmin" command? Or are you
using the CUPS web interface? Or a RedHat tool?

Post the contents of these files (if they exist):

  ~/.cups/client.conf
  /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
  /etc/cups/printers.conf

Also, post the output of these commands:

  testparm -sv | grep -E "cups|print|driv|lp|spool|secur"
  grep -Ev "^#|^$" /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
