Cups help?

On the COL box, you should use:
http://localhost:631/

In manage printers, if you don't see the printer on your RH box already,
you need to do one of two things:

on both systems, check /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to make sure there are no
restrictions from other systems connecting to you (the comments should be
self-explanatory).

ensure you're running compatible versions of the software (I suggest you
install the latest version on each)

On all my systems, the clients just have the server's printer there
automagically.  CUPS handles all that by itself for systems on the local
network (running tcpdump you'll see port 631 actively broadcasting every
few seconds).
