Foreword
Here is some information about how printing works in Fedora, how to diagnose problems with it, and related topics.
Debugging problems
See the How to debug printing problems page for some information about how to diagnose printing problems and what information is needed when filing bug reports.
CUPS
The print spooler used in Fedora is CUPS, the Common Unix Printing System. It is an implementation of IPP, the Internet Printing Protocol.
Configuration tool
Printer queues are configured using system-config-printer. This package also provides the printer status icon in the notification area, and creates queues automatically when USB printers are connected.
