CUPS is just killing me

[<briand@aracnet.com>]

well, i tried to purge the avahi thingy and accidentally purged cups

i reinstalled cups AND i had saved a copy of the /etc/cups directory such in the event of such an occassion.

so i re-copied the entire directory.

and the printer didn't work. furthermore cups is not acting the same.

so in desperation I tried:

  ipp://192.168.1.111/ipp

and lo and behold i can print a test page.

But, now none of the other computers on the network see the cups server.

just absolutely killing me.
