Is your dns working correctly? (for example get hostname for mirrorlist.centos.org, try using command 'host mirrorlist.centos.org)

Centos main list, I am working on a Centos 7 system and trying to do the following.

 yum search cups-lpd

I am getting the following

Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=7&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infr... error was 12: Timeout on http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=7&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infr...: (28, 'Resolving timed out after 30382 milliseconds')

One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown), and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:

 1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the

problem.

 2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a

working upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the packages for the previous distribution release still work).

 3. Disable the repository, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will

then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage:

        yum-config-manager --disable <repoid>

 4. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is

unavailable. Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands, so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice compromise:

        yum-config-manager --save

--setopt=<repoid>.skip_if_unavailable=true

Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base/7/x86_64

I am using cups on this Centos 7 machine. Which prints fine from the Centos to my print queue's

However I have an Sco Unix system using lpd printing that I am trying to send print jobs to the Centos 7 system and those are not even getting to the system. I get message: waiting on queue to be enabled

QUESTION FOR main list: Is the Centos 7 "yum" commands being worked on? When might this be fixed?
