I've done a "rpm -e --nodeps cups" then "yum install cups" and got to the point where thunderbird and firefox send a print request to my HP PSC 2110 but is not printed out.
I still cannot open "localhost 631" 'Unable to connect'.

how about in firefox...

http://localhost:631

?

Craig

comes up with "Unable to connect"

It seems to me there are only two possibilities:
1. cupsd is not running. What does : ps aux -columns 256 |grep cupsd
return/
2. Your /etc/hosts file does not define a localhost. Use the ip number
of ypur machine rather than localhost.

[root@reddwarf ~]# ps aux -columns 256 |grep cupsd
I am not doing well with things like spellins and such.
It is --columns
Could you give me an example of the /etc/hosts/ file please
hosts file:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1		localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.100		vulcan vulcan.gateway.2wire.net
192.168.1.101		saturn saturn.gateway.2wire.net
192.168.1.65		cyrus cyrus.gateway.2wire.net
Would this be correct: 192.168.0.1     reddwarf localhost.localdomain
----
no - should be more like (note the first 2 lines)...

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1		localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.1     reddwarf localhost.localdomain

Craig

Thanks for that Craig,now the good news,i'm into 'localhost:631' then
set up the printer then I'm asked for user name and password but its
not accepting anything i put to it.can I delete a cups password file
and start again.
----
the only username/password combo that is gonna make cups happy is root
and root password

Craig

Yes I agree but cups will not accept 'root:root password'
