Topic
Enhanced redhat-config-printer packages are now available.
Description
The redhat-config-printer utility is a printer configuration and filtration
system based on magicfilter (the alchemist data library) and the foomatic
filter system. It rebuilds local print configuration and spool directories
from data sources at lpd init time, and is integrated to use the
multi-sourced features of the alchemist data library.
This update adds support for creating queues with names beginning with a digit.
Users should install this newly released package, which adds this enhancement.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,

RPMs being upgraded on your system.
