me in the past.

[david at reddwarf burner]$ rpm -qa |grep cups
cups-pdf-2.4.6-3.fc8.i386
apcupsd-std-3.10.18-1.i386
gutenprint-cups-5.0.1-5.fc8.i386
cups-libs-1.3.4-4.fc8.i386
cups-1.3.4-4.fc8.i386
libgnomecups-0.2.2-11.fc8.i386

Cups is now installed I had to do the  manual method.

yum updated 31 files but no cups yet
Still not printing.
