printer not detected in fedora 15

[Kenneth Gonsalves]

hi,

I have a deskjet F440 that works perfectly in fedora 14. But in 15 the
scanner works fine, but the printer is not showing up in the add printer
screen.

Looks like you need to file a bug report against 'cups-pk-helper'.

problem solved - cups not installed. 15 has a choice of desktop,
developer or webserver for installation. I chose developer not which
does not install cups by default.
