[KLUG Members] Ximian Desktop and Printer Setup?

Finally got around to trying to get my printer going with the new
RedHat/Ximian installation, so I'm looking at the System menu on the
desktop. Under Administrator Settins is the Printers option. When I
click on that, Nautilus dutifully opens a directory browser after
telling me:

> Can't Display Location
> 
> "printers:///" is not a valid location.
> Please check the spelling and try again.

The Help menu hasn't so far. Everything the user manual says about
printer setup directs me to that location just mentioned, but every icon
that seems to point to that location just gets me the same response.
Neither the manual nor anything on the web seems to address it either.
Not even Ximian's online support seems to acknowledge it. The only web
page that mentions it at all is another request for help:

http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/users/2003-June/010091.html

No one seems to have replied to that, either.

SO, having beaten the horse to death and then some... does anyone here
know how to fix this?
