This is Linux not windows. Rebooting a machine is rarely necessary.
/etc/init.d/cups restart is virtually the sames thing.
Does the printer work from the Fedora 8 box?
http://fedora8box:631 test it there OR
ssh to the fedora8 box and
df -v | lp -dPrinterName
Is the printjob sitting on the Fedora 8 box? Output from
lpstat -t, should be informative.
Just the basics.
