I have a server and when I try to open the print tool under Systems Tools, the window just closes down. I can't add a printer or delete a printer that was removed. I believe its RH 8 or 9.

Any ideas?

I figured it out myself. There is a file /etc/cups/printers.conf and an old printer was defined in there. I edited the file and deleted the lines for that printer and the tool opened. I was then able to add the other printer.
