RH9 uses CUPS for printing. Launch the CUPS daemon and then kick off the
Print Manager. I'm guessing you want to set the queue type to LPD but
the JetDirect option *might* work.

Other option would be to share off a queue on Windows box, point to that
box and set the queue to SMB. This would allow you to interface with any
vendor specific tools you want to use.
