Marcia....sure the 7.2 CUPS should work with 8.0. Basically,
reverse the process you just did. Uninstall the 5 files you
just installed:
rpm -e --nodeps lpr-0.50-10mdk.i586.rpm
rpm -e --nodeps rhs-printfilters-1.76-3mdk.i586.rpm
rpm -e --nodeps printtool-3.43-2mdk.noarch.rpm (mdk 7.0)
rpm -e --nodeps control-panel-3.11-17mdk (mdk 7.2)
rpm -e --nodeps mpage-2.5.1-12mdk (7.2)
If there are any errors about not being able to delete some
associated directories because of there still being data in
them then delete them by hand. Then install these files from
the 7.2 Installation CD by first copying them to an otherwise
empty directory and install them all at once using:
rpm -ivh *
cups-1.1.4-3mdk.i586.rpm
cups-drivers-0.3.6-30mdk.i586.rpm
kups-0.8-24mdk.i586.rpm
qtcups-1.0-14mdk.i586.rpm
Hopefully you'll not run into any dependency errors and this
will fix up all your printing problems to your satisfaction.
Good luck!
