This is a problem. If you cannot find it, there is something wrong with
your fedora repo configuration. In fact, it hasn't been called "base"
for a while now. It should be called "fedora".
----
good catch...his URL for 'updates-released' (which should be fedora)
points to an ftp with a login and password and it doesn't work.
another URL for updates uses 'core' which clearly won't work.
his URL for 'base' is clearly from an old Fedora because the folder is
now called 'Packages' and not 'Fedora'
OK David...here's what you do. (you can probably just paste this all
into a terminal)
su - # get root
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
mkdir old-repos
mv fedora* old-repos
rpm -ivh --replacepkgs
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-8-3.noarch.rpm
yum update
yum install system-config-printer
This should get your repos back in order (whatever you did to the
configuration I don't know)

Getting access to localhost:631 has nothing to do with having
system-config-printer install led. There is something wrong with you
repos in that you can't install system-config-printer.
Is there a localhost defined in your /etc/hosts file and is cupsd
running is what is essential. Previously you did not have cupsd running.
ps aux |grep cupsd. Does it show cupsd running. We are discussing two
different ways to install printers as if they are the same. They are
not.

I hope this answer helps you as I find it difficult to follow all the

It's amazing to me that this apparently endless thread
seems to be entirely due to the fact that
YOU DO NOT HAVE cupsd RUNNING.
If you did, you would see the CUPS web-page
if you gave entered http://localhost:631 in your browser.
I do have cupsd running as shown previously.
My present problem is getting it to accetp the root password

OK, try this...(you need root so simply 'su -')
this is supplied so you could simply paste this all after you su to root
per above
cd /etc/yum.repos.d
mkdir NOT-USED
mv * NOT-USED # clear out all repos for the moment
mv NOT-USED/fedora-development.repo.rpmsave fedora-development.repo
mv NOT-USED/fedora-updates-testing.repo.rpmsave
fedora-updates-testing.repo
mv NOT-USED/fedora-updates.repo.rpmsave fedora-updates.repo
mv NOT-USED/fedora.repo.rpmsave fedora.repo
# at this point, you should be able to yum update without much issue and
I am presuming that the latest installs of fedora-release and
livna-release put their repo files rpmsave because the originals were
tainted.
The rest of the repos you can add by mv the files back but only do 1 or
2 at a time so you will see if any have problems.
Myself, I would probably move the rpmforge.repo back but it might be an
issue depending upon how old it is. Possibly kde-redhat stuff (may be
old), maybe jpackage...again, it could be old and broken
