There is something wrong with you repos in that you can't install system-config-printer. Is there a localhost defined in your /etc/hosts file and is cupsd running is what is essential. Previously you did not have cupsd running. ps aux |grep cupsd. Does it show cupsd running. We are discussing two different ways to install printers as if they are the same. They are not. -- ======================================================================= How many Unix hacks does it take to change a light bulb?
