You may want to download and build the newer cups from FC4 so you

Unfortunately it hasn't been as easy as that, I may try to track
down what is quickly becoming an endless list of dependencies
tomorrow. Back to my original question though, is there a way to
remove cups in order to test whether or not the problem is a
cups/app compatibility issue?

Yes to both questions, removing cups will not accomplish your goal
however.

Every other printing test you posted has worked, so the problem seems
to be with this unnamed application. Maybe this application is to old
to deal with cups printing.

Sorry, not trying to be secretive, it's an app developed by a local
company called "Event" that utilizes a Providex database. Normally
the programmers are quite good at addressing issues for us but right
now we've got them swamped with another project. I've sent an e-mail
early yesterday asking if they're compatible with cups but haven't
heard back yet. Their main programmer will be at our office tomorrow
at which time I can nail him down and have him take a look.

But who am I to stop you, remember that nice list of applications
that depend on cups?? You need to remove them first then remove
cups. It would be a really good idea to test remove them first (do
not forget about removing system-config-printer also, I'm just
keeping the command below limited to one line with no word wrap);

So far the whole thing has been in a test environment, right now I've
got 4 identical systems on a ESX server, makes it easy to blow things
away and start over. I think I'll leave cups as is based on what you
wrote above about removing dependencies and just see if I can't get
the issue resolved with the help from the guys that wrote the app.

If you give up before this point I do understand, like I said cups is
now the default printing option with RHEL4.

I'm giving up on trying to update or remove cups until after the
programmers have answered my question about cups compatibility, in
the meantime I've got 2 Digi Port server II's to configure and test. With
what I know about Linux this should keep me occupied today. :-)

Oddly enough that went quite well, installed the package for digi and set
the serial printers up using the GUI as /dev/ttyaxx devices and the app in
question printed to them with no problem.
