What you say may well be true.
But I doubt if it has anything to do with his cups problem.
If cupsd is running then the problem with cups 
is likely to be something very simple -
eg perhaps the line "Listen localhost:631" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
has somehow got deleted.

As far as the problem with yum.repos.d is concerned,
I would have recommended running "grep enabled=1 /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo"
and seen what repos were enabled (probably very few),
and disabling all except fedora and fedora-updates.

As far as cups is concerned, I would run "service cups restart"
and then look in /var/log/cups/error_log
to see what was reported there.
