Huh? "RHEL fully up to date" has a CUPS 1.1.22rc1??

"rc1" stands for "Release Candidate No. 1 for the upcoming 1.1.22 Final Release" and was released in October 2004. I don't think you'll get *any* support or fix for your problem, even if it turned out to be a CUPS bug.

Have a look at this page:

   http://www.cups.org/relnotes.php

and check for yourself which of the numerous fixes that went into the 19 (!) releases (count includes other RCs) since October 2004 may match your problem.

Having said that, it may also be that some "SE Linux" setting of RHEL prevents your scheduler's responses getting back to the clients....

So you're saying that your CUPS on that system in fact never did work at all before?
