Karl,
thank you. The problem is that I did remove the printer, then I added
it again, but it still could not get in contact with CUPS.
No printing takes effect, not only the testpage.
I also have trouble starting system-config-printer, and any efforts to
do printer management is rejected. So I wonder if there is something
wrong with my CUPS, but I have never done any installation or
configuration of CUPS before, so there I am a novice.

After a long period of smooth sailing I suddenly encountered a CUPS
problem.
Why I have got it is uncertain, maybe as a result of a yum upgrade
run. I had to reinstall FC 5 due to some disk trouble (possibly
because a blown fuse cut the electricity supply to my desk)
so I imagined that I would be interested in upgraded programs since
I burned the FC5 distro.
I remove and reinstall the printer (which btw. is online, lights are
up :-) ) and when sending a testpage to the printer i get the
following message:
"There was a problem sending CUPS test page to laser1 queue (my
chosen printer name)
/usr/bin/lpr connection refused
The following daemons are running:
cupsd
cups-config-daemon
I would be grateful to receive some help on this one.

I had a problem like that. I had to delete the printer from the
printer setup program and then re-load it with the same name and so
forth. It fixed the problem.
Sorry but in my experience re-loading the printer has always fixed
the problem. Your problem is more serious and may take some serious
changes in cups or supporting software.
