Wasn't cups already installed?  How did you install Fedora 16?

Wasn't it installed automatically when you connected the printer?

The package you want is 'gutenprint-cups'.  It might be that gutenprint
doesn't have the correct ID for this printer model, which would explain
why the package wasn't automatically installed.  What is the output of
this command?:

su -c 'lpinfo -l -v'

You don't need to do this.
