About a week ago, I installed FC5, subsequently defined a printer queue, and the printer (hp deskjet 5550) worked fine. I use a router to network two computers. FC5 is only on the "main" computer. So I set about to share the filesystem with the second computer, still running FC4. On the FC5 computer, I went to System->Administration->Network to get "Network Configuration" and set up the proper host names recognized by the router. I discovered that the FC5 computer was listed as localhost.localdomain at 127.0.0.1. I could have sworn that during the installation of FC5, I entered its correct name and IP address and don't know where 127.0.0.1 came from. Anyway, I made the necessary changes and additions in Network Configuration:

localhost1.localdomain at 192.168.1.100 (running FC5)
localhost2.localdomain at 192.168.1.200 (running FC4)

That part was successful. When I boot localhost2, I now can mount the filesystem from the hard drive on localhost1 onto localhost2.

But now the printer, locally connected to localhost1, stopped working! I looked at cupsd.conf and saw that mysterious address 127.0.0.1. Assuming that this was why the printer stopped working, I changed those values to 192.168.1.100. I also deleted the print queue and created a new one. But I just can't get the printer working. When attempting to print the test page at the end to the queue-creation process, I get "server-error-service-unavailable."

Any ideas how to fix things? Thanks so much.

I used switchdesk for a kde desktop it appears their is a bug in cups as everytime I tried to set up my printer the program crashed.
I had computer problems and didn't get finished. This should give an idea where to look.
When I ran the last update gnome wouldn't allow me to axcess the program.
