OK, you need to register and then start cups...
/sbin/chkconfig cups on
/sbin/service cups start
Then you will have to see if printer is still set up...probably easiest
to just use 'Administration' => 'Printing'
set up printer, apply changes, click 'Print Test Page'
until you get a test page to print, don't bother with any other program.
Fix the settings
