Hi Jesper

I had luck with following steps.

Install Cups:
    • yum install ghostscript
    • yum install --enablerepo=smecontribs cups
    • signal-event post-upgrade
    • /etc/init.d/cups start (Does not work. - Start with: service cups start)

Set CUPS to start on startup: (does not work, don't know how to fix  this.)
    • ln -s /etc/init.d/cups /etc/rc7.d/S93cups
    • ln -s /etc/init.d/cups /etc/rc6.d/K93cups

Open CUPS in shell and alow “remote access” (see administration)
    • elinks http://localhost:631

Now it sould be possible to open in browser
   • https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:631/admin

Anyone knows how to add to startup?

I have recently installed and tested concept on a VM..simple test it worked, setup a printer and printed a file, did not go further.

A simple # yum install cups

is all that is needed to do the job, deps etc are pulled including ghostscript
