Greetings; I brought my lappy back from MI and have been basicly just updating it once a week or so since. Tonight I thought maybe I'd see if my printer list on this machine was visible on that machine, but anything I do that requires a cups restart fails because after the editing by localhost:631, /etc/cups/cupsd.conf is a zero length file. Repeatedly. This list of 4 configs, all pointing at the same printer, is visible on all the other machines on this network, and is usable by those machines including one kubuntu-6.06.1 out in my shop. The c88 that was connected to it is not now, and cups miss-reported it as available and ready before I started screwing around. How do I trace when cups was updated? Its currently, according to yumex, labeled as cups, version 1:1.2.3-1.2
Have you checked /var/log/yum.log?

You might also try disabling cups-config-deamon service. It has been a source of problems since July 2005.
