Please update to the most recent system-config-printer and CUPS test updates: yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update 'system-config-printer*' 'cups*' Then run the printing troubleshooter: System->Administration->Printing, then Help->Troubleshoot. Please attach the resulting troubleshoot.txt file to this bug report.

I updated cups from updates-testing. Right after that I ran printer troubleshooting.
Please show me the output of this command, as root, making sure the printer is connected and turned on first: /usr/sbin/lpinfo -l --include-schemes=usb -v

OK, the device URI is incorrect, and this is due to bug #507244. On to the next problem: (In reply to comment #0) > 2. Under Printer Configuration , Try to change device uri "There was an error > during the CUPS operation 'client-error-forbidden'." Are you running system-config-printer as root, or as a normal (non-root) user? There is a known problem with running PolicyKit-enabled applications as root: bug #447266. Can you change the device URI if you run system-config-printer as a normal (non-root) user?
> Can you change the device URI if you run system-config-printer as a normal > (non-root) user? No. It keeps prompting for a root pass to make changes to the device URI
Just to clarify: are you entering the root password into the dialog and that fails somehow?
The root password doesn't fail. Trying to change teh device URI does
Please do the following, as root: /sbin/service cups restartlog Then, attempt to change the device URI using system-config-printer as a non-root user. When that fails, please attach the file /var/log/cups/error_log to this bug report. Thanks.

I was in system-config-printer and I changed the Device URI. When prompted for the root password I entered it than I chose under devices. "Lexmark International Lexmark E232" . I applied these settings and printed a test page and it worked. Also. I updated cups from updates-testing about 2 or 3 days ago. I am running cups-1.4-0.rc1.7.fc11.i586

So is it all working now, with the newer cups package?
Yes it is working.
