I need a stepwise approach to setting up CUPS.
I haven't done this in years.
Suggested URL?

I would start with the Arch wiki. It's a great resource: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS

You could use the CUPS web interface (as per your other thread asking about access credentials that I answered already). Anyway, as you're a Fedora user the 'system-config-printer' (GUI) utility is probably your best friend...

Maybe add some more info? Is it installed? it almost always works out of the box. And setting it up for what? Here is my go to source for my cups needs. https://www.cups.org/documentation.html
