CUPS problem

[PerAntonRønning]

Karl,
thank you. The problem is that I did remove the printer, then I added it 
again, but it still could not get in contact with CUPS.
No printing takes effect, not only the testpage.
I also have trouble starting system-config-printer, and any efforts to 
do printer management is rejected. So I wonder if there is something 
wrong with my CUPS, but I have never done any installation or 
configuration of CUPS before, so there I am a novice.
