If the text version id used, everything goes well untill saving the settings, at which poing it hangs as well. I think, as a result of this, OpenOffice does not start (hangs) too. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-printer-0.6.116-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Just try using it from either the menu or command line. 2. 3. Actual Results: the program hangs Expected Results: should not Additional info: This is happening on a dell 450 workstation that was configured to run RH8 (by dell).
If you run it from the command line do you get any messages displayed in the terminal window?

What happens when you run this command as root?: /sbin/service cups restart
cups restarted ok and I could run system-config-printer after that. It does seem a little strange to me since I did reboot the computer several times but system-config-printer still did not run. Anyway, now everything is fine, including OpenOffice. Thanks a lot for the help.
Okay, closing.
