Karl, thank you. The problem is that I did remove the printer, then I added it again, but it still could not get in contact with CUPS. No printing takes effect, not only the testpage. I also have trouble starting system-config-printer, and any efforts to do printer management is rejected. So I wonder if there is something wrong with my CUPS, but I have never done any installation or configuration of CUPS before, so there I am a novice.

After a long period of smooth sailing I suddenly encountered a CUPS problem. Why I have got it is uncertain, maybe as a result of a yum upgrade run. I had to reinstall FC 5 due to some disk trouble (possibly because a blown fuse cut the electricity supply to my desk) so I imagined that I would be interested in upgraded programs since I burned the FC5 distro.
I remove and reinstall the printer (which btw. is online, lights are up :-) ) and when sending a testpage to the printer i get the following message:
"There was a problem sending CUPS test page to laser1 queue (my chosen printer name)
/usr/bin/lpr connection refused
The following daemons are running: cupsd cups-config-daemon
I would be grateful to receive some help on this one.

I had a problem like that. I had to delete the printer from the printer setup program and then re-load it with the same name and so forth. It fixed the problem.
Sorry but in my experience re-loading the printer has always fixed the problem. Your problem is more serious and may take some serious changes in cups or supporting software.
