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

I don't have an 'Administration => Printing' in KDE,I'm into

This is a problem. If you cannot find it, there is something wrong with
your fedora repo configuration. In fact, it hasn't been called "base"
for a while now. It should be called "fedora".
When I do updates, yum finds the following:
atrpms 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00

yes, I have a few "extra" repositories configured. But note the
"names". Why are yours different?
system-config-printer-0.7.74.4-3.fc8 exists on the original installation
media. I can find it just by going to the repositories with my web browser.
Here is a URL to it (if you can't find it on your local media):
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/Packages/system-config-printer-0.7.74.4-3.fc8.i386.rpm
Download it using your favorite WWW browser or wget.
(adjust the i386 part to match your architecture requirements if necessary)
install it using rpm. In fact, I think you can give the URL directly to
rpm and it will download it and install it for you (assuming it needs no
other dependencies).
My yum download
Installed: pirut.noarch 0:1.3.28-1.fc8
Complete!
[david@reddwarf ~]$ sudo rpm -Uvh
rpm/system-config-printer-0.7.74.4-3.fc8.i386.rpm
