I've done a "rpm -e --nodeps cups" then "yum install cups" and got to

thunderbird and firefox send a print request to my HP PSC 2110 but is

I still cannot open "localhost 631" 'Unable to connect'.

how about in firefox...

comes up with "Unable to connect"

you are running firefox on the same computer that has the printer

how about...

OK, you need to register and then start cups...
/sbin/chkconfig cups on
/sbin/service cups start
Then you will have to see if printer is still set up...probably easiest
to just use 'Administration' => 'Printing'
set up printer, apply changes, click 'Print Test Page'
until you get a test page to print, don't bother with any other program.
Fix the settings
