Yes, installing this one package solved the problem. cupsd starts now
w/o error.

Yes, installing these two packages allowed me to start
redhat-config-printer and to add a local printer (other options not
tested). Due to codependency between perl and perl-Filter I had to --nodep
perl. (Unfortunatly I recognised too late the other possibility provided
by Richard and Jason on this list: "rpm -ivh perl perl-Filter" - I will
keep it for the next time :-) )

Space: Perl and perlfiter adds 44MB - as already discussed there is no
way around it?!? Do I remeber this right?


Next issue:
----------
Printing the testpage, I got an error. The /var/log/messages states:

Any idea?


Thanks and bye, Ingo.
