Maybe too late now, but maybe for the next time, install lprng and then use redhat-switch-printer to switch to LPD, then uninstall cups. It will uninstall fine without any violence (you can as well just leave it on your system, it will do no harm). --ph ___________________________________________________ Yahoo!
