I also got the problem, caused from invalid netmask value in cupsd.conf.

I had to remove the 255.255.255.0.
The reason CUPS is rejecting this is that the correct network address
is:
192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
and not
192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0
But why it's incorrect? It should be correct.
CUPS-1.1.x would correct this for you, but CUPS-1.2 no longer does.
But this line in cupsd.conf gets written by system-config-printer (it
copies what you enter in the 'Sharing' dialog).
If you run, as root:
/usr/sbin/printconf-backend --force-rebuild
/sbin/service cups restart
you will probably find that the incorrect network address is back
again.
No, It's not back.
To test out the correct fix, please fetch these packages:
http://people.redhat.com/twaugh/tmp/cups-fc5/i386/system-config-printer-0.6.151.7-1.i386.rpm
http://people.redhat.com/twaugh/tmp/cups-fc5/i386/system-config-printer-gui-0.6.151.7-1.i386.rpm
and install them with 'rpm -Fvh system-config-printer*-0.6.151.7-1*'.
Then restart cups: '/sbin/service cups restart'
and things should work fine. Let me know whether this works for you!
This works, thanks.
