"Unable to retreive the printer list. Error message received from manager:
Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that the CUPS server is correctly installed and running. Error: connection refused."

There is a bug in the install and cups does not get started on boot like it should. Try from a console window as root /etc/init.d/cupsys start to start the cups daemon.
[edit]
You may also if you want cups started on boot every time to add the line to the bottom of the file /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh.

Are you talking about the /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh file? You should be able to open it no problem even as regular user you just would not be able to write to it, can you post the error you get?
[edit]
With the cupsys file you are just starting the daemon if that is the one you are trying to open.

just a thought
if you're using KDE have you tried configuring your printer from the KDE control center (under peripherals ->printers)?
That's how I set mine up and I have no problems printing or have the cups service not start for me.

stephen: Yes, I'm talking about the bootmisc.sh.
Hayabusa: That's the point where I get the CUPS error...
