Author Upgrade from RHEL3 to RHEL5 - CUPS

I upgraded from RHEL3 to RHEL5 yesterday and of course a lot is missing and
things do not work.

First one is that CUPS no longer works. I cannot even find a decent
configuration interface. It does discover my printer, which is on the other
machine on my LAN running CentOS 4. Any idea if there is documentation on this?

Dear Jean-David,


system-config-printer is not installed or donīt you like it?


Best regards,

I do not like it. It is the same thing I get when running off the menu.
At least, it gives me error messages when I run it from an xterm:

$ system-config-printer
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line
1092, in on_tvMainList_cursor_changed
self.fillPrinterTab(name)
File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line
1120, in fillPrinterTab
self.ppd = printer.getPPD()
File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/cupshelpers.py", line 160, in getPPD
filename = self.connection.getPPD(self.name)
RuntimeError: cupsGetPPD2 failed

That does not help me much.
