I believe this was addressed in the "Comprehensive Printing Update" errata, RHSA-2001:138. Please install the updated packages, and reopen if the problem persists.
Installed all updates, according to RHSA-2001:138 # rpm -q foomatic ghostscript Omni printconf foomatic-1.1-0.20011018.3 ghostscript-6.51-16 Omni-0.5.0-4 printconf-0.3.52-1 The problem is with the python version installed: python-2.2-0.5b1 and printconf python code, see also [Bug 55200] on printconf-gui for printconf-0.3.51-1. The problem persists with printconf-0.3.52-1
printconf has not been ported to python 2 yet. Reopen in a few months, if this persists. :)
