I'm not. I used to use system-config-printer, but now I'm working with
cups web interface.

SELinux is disabled:

# grep -v "^#" /etc/selinux/config | grep -v "^$"
SELINUX=disabled
SELINUXTYPE=targeted

What happens if I stop the printer and delete /etc/cups/printer.conf?

Cups is logging alot. I changed the configuration option in the web
interface. The problem is that it logs so much that I can't
distinguish what I'm looking for from what is not important.
