It shouldn't ever be necessary to use --nodeps

That's how you broke things in the first place.

If cups service is started (and didn't quit), you should be able to
use...

Administration => Printing

and set up your printer now

make sure it can print a test page from that configuration tool before
you try printing with any other program

Craig

I don't have an 'Administration => Printing' in KDE,I'm into
'localhost:631'
----
yum install system-config-printer
----
 but am having problems now with password
and username,cups won't accept anything.
----
root and root's password

Craig

[root@reddwarf ~]# sudo rpm -qa | grep printer
system-config-printer-libs-0.7.74.4-3.fc8.i386
[root@reddwarf ~]#


yum install system-config-printer

No package system-config-printer available.
Nothing to do.

can't possibly be true...

# rpm -qa|grep system-config-printer
system-config-printer-0.7.74.4-3.fc8
system-config-printer-libs-0.7.74.4-3.fc8

try...

yum clean all
yum install system-config-printer
----
Root and Roots password do no work.
----
I presume this in reference to logging into cups via firefox and
connecting to

http://localhost:631

root and root's password always work

what packages are you excluding in your 'global exclude list' that is
mentioned above?

easy way to find out...
grep exclude /etc/yum.repos.d/*
----
I still cannot get root acess into cups:631 via firefox.

----
you never will...

it's http://localhost:631

exclude=kde* gimp-libs libicu lm_sensors
