printing difficulties after upgrade to FC1



I've upgraded from RH9 to FC1 on my wife's computer, and now find that I can't print. Looking around shows that /usr/bin/lpr is a symbolic link to /etc/alternatives/print ... but that's a broken link to /usr/bin/lpr.LPRng. In /usr/bin, the files lp, lpq, lpr, lprm, and lpstat have analogous problems.

I would guess that I should symlink them to the matching *.cups files in /usr/bin (printconf-gui also expects lpr to be available, BTW), but OTOH attempting to run lpr.cups gives a "scheduler not responding" error. Is my guess correct, and why isn't the print queue getting started when I first bring the machine up as it was before the upgrade? (Looking in the log files didn't turn up any error message that looked related to printing.)
