Since this works under Windows, I assume you can ping (and maybe telnet to) 
192.168.10.48

Anything interesting in /var/spool/lpd/error-log?

Are the ownership & permissions on /var/spool/lpd/ib4019 correct?
(Should be 775) drwxrwxr-x...I take that back, looks like lp/lp drwx------ 
should work.

I believe you said this was Red Hat, make sure you have the latest LPRng 
package for your release.
