Problem Removing Cups

[shall6645]

I am running Fedora Core 2. I need to uninstall Cups and install LPRng on to this machine so I can configure a thin client that uses Linux to built an iso image. However when I try to remove cups through the command line using rpm -e cups-1.1.20-6. When I run this command I get a dependency error saying that cups is needed by system-config-printer-0.6.98-1. And when I try to get un-install what is needed by cups I get another dependency error. How can I get cups removed and LPRng installed without messing up the machine?

Thanks in advance,
Steve

rpm -e --nodeps cups
or
rpm -e --nodeps cups-1.1.20-6

you could also take a stab at
rpm -e cups-1.1.20-6 system-config-printer-0.6.98-1

but I don't know what the system-config-printer does in the way of servicing LPR, CUPS, or other printing tools... so removing it might be a mistake, your call to make.
