I have learned a lot today and it is all bad. Let us assume the

The update becomes part of the whole file for udev. This you
can't just remove because it is used by the whole computer!
So I think I need to get out my DVD and look for the old udev
rpm and force it to replace the updated one.
If that doesn't work do the same thing to the others. A whole
lot of work. Maybe easier to just reload f7?
I have an HP Deskjet 722C connected to an F7 machine through the
parallel port and I'm using the most recent udev update. I would not
suspect udev yet.
I Have hpijs-1.7.4a-4.fc7 and hplip-1.7.4a-4.fc7 installed so that
may help in identifying the type of printer (I'm a neophyte with
printers) and the printer shows up in the CUPS web interface with a
URI of hp:/par/DESKJET_720c?device=/dev/parport0
If you have the updated cups files installed you will never get
that HP working. Because the new Cups will not accept any printer
using the parallel port.
Wrong. It's working, now.
That was the point of my mail.
You CAN use a parallel port printer. Even one that is not well
supported. The "New CUPS" has no problem with the parallel port.

How did you do it? The web page and the GUI printer setup have no
parallel port listed. Did you just write something else in? What did you
write? Mine would not work period.
