I modified my host file adding a line:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1    maxdata    localhost.localdomain   localhost
::1     localhost.localdomain   localhost

Now the question is: why on system upgrading from FC6 to F7 line was
not added, while on fresh installations everything was fine???

And now Cups is not idling any longer...tnx Tim
