It shouldn't ever be necessary to use --nodeps

That's how you broke things in the first place.

If cups service is started (and didn't quit), you should be able to
use...

Administration => Printing

and set up your printer now

make sure it can print a test page from that configuration tool before
you try printing with any other program

I don't have an 'Administration => Printing' in KDE,I'm into
'localhost:631'

yum install system-config-printer

 but am having problems now with password
and username,cups won't accept anything.

yum install system-config-printer

try...

yum clean all
yum install system-config-printer

Root and Roots password do no work.

I presume this in reference to logging into cups via firefox and
connecting to

http://localhost:631

root and root's password always work

I still cannot get root acess into cups:631 via firefox.

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.

How many Unix hacks does it take to change a light bulb? Let's see, can
you use a shell script for that or does it need a C program?
