It shouldn't ever be necessary to use --nodeps
That's how you broke things in the first place.
If cups service is started (and didn't quit), you should be able to
use...
Administration => Printing
and set up your printer now
make sure it can print a test page from that configuration tool before
you try printing with any other program
Craig
I don't have an 'Administration => Printing' in KDE,I'm into
'localhost:631'

yum install system-config-printer

but am having problems now with password
and username,cups won't accept anything.

Root and Roots password do no work.

I presume this in reference to logging into cups via firefox and
connecting to
http://localhost:631
root and root's password always work

what packages are you excluding in your 'global exclude list' that is
mentioned above?
easy way to find out...
grep exclude /etc/yum.repos.d/*
