What version of redhat-config-printer do you have (rpm -q redhat-config-printer)? Also, when was the last time that it worked? A previous beta, or 7.3?
It's 0.4.21-1 for redhat-config-printer and redhat-config-printer-gui. It last worked on 7.3. I also noticed a error in starting the lpd as follows: Starting lpd: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/printconf-backend", line 7, in ? import printconf_backend File "/usr/share/printconf/util/printconf_backend.py", line 30, in ? _=gettext.gettext NameError: name 'gettext' is not defined No Printers Defined [ OK ]

Which of course brings up the question of where to obtain 0.4.22-1?
Rawhide. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 72177 ***
Rawhide has 0.4.23-1 and after downloading and installing I've traded the old error message for: [root@ipa init.d]# ./lpd start Starting lpd: Fatal error - Cannot bind to lpd port '515' [FAILED]
That's bug #71712; the rawhide cups package fixes it, or do this: chkconfig cups-lpd off service xinetd reload Thanks.
