I had the same problem. Mine was IP misconfiguring.
Linux use loopback interface for printing.
Just check loopback configuration in /etc/hosts.
#
127.0.0.1 loopback <hostname>
It happend because I've installed RH throught network and removed LAN
card after that. It was complain about missing LAN at startup
but it was not bother me till printing.
