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".
----
good catch...his URL for 'updates-released' (which should be fedora) points to an ftp with a login and password and it doesn't work.

another URL for updates uses 'core' which clearly won't work.

his URL for 'base' is clearly from an old Fedora because the folder is now called 'Packages' and not 'Fedora'

OK David...here's what you do. (you can probably just paste this all into a terminal)

su - # get root
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
mkdir old-repos
mv fedora* old-repos
rpm -ivh --replacepkgs \
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-8-3.noarch.rpm
yum update
yum install system-config-printer

This should get your repos back in order (whatever you did to the configuration I don't know)

Craig I do appreciate what you are doing for me ,as I suffer with Bipolar disorder I tend to stress out
and can miss things through loss of concentration.

 Thanks david
