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.
