The machine controlling the printer should list the hosts permitted
to access the printer in the /etc/hosts.lpd file. So, your old RedHat
machine's /etc/hosts.lpd should have an entry for your 7.3 machine.
Also, make sure that lpd is running as a service on the machine with
the printer:
service lpd start (or, restart)
If you do:
netstat -pan
you should see lpd "listening" on port 515.
And, make sure that your firewall isn't blocking port 515.
This all assumes that the networking between the two linux boxes is
properly configured; you can ping one machine from the other.
Best,
Tom
