Make sure that your partition(s) with /var or /tmp are not full.  I 
recently had a problem where I could not print anything with FC2.  It 
turned out that my /var partition was full, due to the fact that I had 
not run 'yum clean packages'.  Yum does not automatically delete 
downloaded rpms, you have to do it manually.
