Hi All!
I've just done a test installation (on an external USB HD) to see how C7 works on my Acer Aspire netbook.
Apparently the live install (I used this one: CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-livecd.iso) does not install CUPS. I've done "yum install cups" and got a ton of stuff installed, but it won't let me set up a printer in the printing applet in either Gnome or MATE (I prefer Mate). Adding a printer is greyed out, and I get told there is no server running.
I thought I needed to start the printer service (cupsd???) but I can't find the system-config-services (or whatever it's named, if not that) app either.
Also haven't found a systemd config for cups, either.
I've tried adding /usr/sbin/cupsd to the system startup programs list, but that doesn't seem to help either.
Obviously I'm overlooking something, and I'd appreciate a (helpful) slap upside the head, i.e., a gentl hint of where I've gone wrong.
thanks a lot!
Fred

thanks Frank! Actually I had figured that out shortly after posting, but was hung up on the subsequent problem for a while, and so didn't post.
the subsequent problem is that Brother's drivers are 32-bit and if you're using 64-bit Linux you need to install the 32-bit glibc. Duh.
Now it's working.

I have been hung up by the same glibc 32-bit/brother problem, but I don't know how to resolve it. This is a new Centos 7 installation. On a Centos 6 system, I simply installed the 32-version and the printer worked.
But I run into a dependency/version problem that would require ever deeper downgrading of those libraries. When I try to install glibc.i686 , i get:
Error: Package: glibc-2.17-55.el7.i686 (base) Requires: glibc-common = 2.17-55.el7 Installed: glibc-common-2.17-55.el7_0.1.x86_64 (@updates) glibc-common = 2.17-55.el7_0.1
Trying to downgrade glibc-common, fails on account of other glibc version problems.
It appears that all glibc libraries, including kernel headers, were upgraded, except for glibc.i686 (which I hadn't installed when I set up the system) has never been upgraded.
If anyone knows what I can do, where I could find a newer 32-bit glibc, please let me know. I can't find the matching rpm.

I had no such problems, I just did "yum install glibc.i686" and voila! Are you sure that (1) your system is fully up to date, and (2) you haven't installed any funky apps/libs that would be interfering here?

I have got to thank you! If you could install glibc.i686. I guessed I could do it.
Thinking there must be a compatible glibc.i686, I searched for mirrors and I found the needed version on a mirror, at arsc.edu. I don't know why yum couldn't find a similar version of the packages -- both glibc and nss-softkn-freebl 32-bit -- but after downloading the packages, I did a local install, and from there a bit of fooling with system-config-printer, and I'm printing.
