OK, the cups gui is still hangin' a half hour later space shot, as usual 
port 631 doesn't work anymore(although it amazingly worked one time 
around the time select # of kernels yum plugin came out) and cups-config 
daemon is deprecated.  I switched from using openoffice which just 
hanged on print to abiword and the resume printed so I am going to the 
job interview.  Cups gui finally came back-it was shot because if you 
select anything besides server settings it does that.  Its on printer 
now and showing no information or a blank screen.  If I fool around with 
it for 5 or 6 hours I might succeed in configuring it all over again 
after I erase the /etc/cups directory and it will recommend some 
lm1100(can't remember its name) driver for my Lexmark Z53.  I now have 
lp on Z53 because the other Z53 with some stuff about gimp-print printed 
next to its text description doesn't work even though its the same 
driver.  Printer was created because I couldn't get the gui to work at 
all and it had printer as a default name(I wanted to get applications 
printing easier by just using lp and started doing this some years ago) 
then the gui worked and printer is on lm1100 its recommended driver.  
Initially the server wouldn't connect at all and one time the gui 
initialized with  /var/run/cups/cups.sock(something like that) in the 
server name window and connected.  Now it is connecting but the gui 
doesn't work as far as showing the printers-it will just hang for about 
half hour and not show any information.
