This is weird Mike , if I open Firefox and type in 192.168.0.5, IP to 
printer it shows a Information page
from there I can PRINT  out reports of the printer from that page.
But I can't print out anything like a txt doc or Print Test Page.
I strongly feel that this problem has to be with Fedora 16 and the 
initial clean install.
When I finished install I had to do a  service cups start
Because cups was not running .
I guess I will have to do another clean install of Fedora 16.
I will do that tomorrow , For now I have to go to my sisters house and 
help polish off the remaining Turkey from yesterdays dinner.

Thanks again Mike
