I can restart cups by "service cups restart ( stopped)  (restart)"
But on Thuderbird and Firefox they both lock up after clicking
the print button,I cannot start localhost to get to  cups admin.

   Thanks  david

Reversing what I have said before now you can get the equivalent of
localhost:631 by running system-config-printer.
or use lpoptions and lpadmin.

Pardon my ignorance but I don't know how to use these commands.

  david

I've done a "rpm -e --nodeps cups" then "yum install cups" and got to the point where thunderbird and firefox send a print request to my HP PSC 2110 but is not printed out.

I still cannot open "localhost 631" 'Unable to connect'.

----
how about in firefox...

http://localhost:631

?

Craig

comes up with "Unable to connect"

----
you are running firefox on the same computer that has the printer
attached to it right?

how about...

/sbin/service cups status

tail -n 20 /var/log/cups/error.log

Craig

[david@reddwarf ~]$ sudo /sbin/service cups status
cups: unrecognized service
[david@reddwarf ~]$

[david@reddwarf ~]$ sudo tail -n 20 /var/log/cups/error.log

[david@reddwarf ~]$
