Try this... reboot open a virtual console (command line) su to root (su -) cp /etc/cups/cupsd.conf /tmp/cupsd.conf cp /etc/cups/printers.conf /tmp/printers.conf then do whatever it is you do to make printer sharing work again then back to the virtual console diff -u /etc/cups/cupsd.conf /tmp/cupsd.conf diff -u /etc/cups/printers.conf /tmp/printers.conf let us know the output of those commands (this will tell us what changed if anything) -- Craig White <craig@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
