I tried the older cups program in the vl7.1 64 repository and that did not help.
Even though cups shows as running in the run level 4 services, when I click on cupsservice (paraphrasing) in vasm, it says that cups is NOT running and so I say to start it and then I get the error: check your cups installation or some such. So she still can't print except by putting file on dropbox so someone else can print it.
Other that this, she said it ran fine today.
