Getting access to localhost:631 has nothing to do with having
system-config-printer install led.  There is something wrong with you
repos in that you can't install system-config-printer.

Is there a localhost defined in your /etc/hosts file and is cupsd
running is what is essential. Previously you did not have cupsd running.
ps aux |grep cupsd. Does it show cupsd running. We are discussing two
different ways to install printers as if they are the same. They are
not.

you use a shell script for that or does it need a C program?
