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 th
is?

Dear Jean-David,

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.
