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. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
