CUPS configuration is done by pointing your browser (firefox) at
127.0.0.1:631 or localhost:631.
I have no idea why you'd be worried about nslookup in this scenario.
That's used to check DNS, not CUPS. All you have to worry about is
that you have a line in /etc/hosts that reads:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

This should have no effect, since you're using the /etc/hosts file to
resolve the "localhost:631" URL above. You don't even have to have that
if you use the "127.0.0.1:631" URL.
However, if you do want DNS to work, then you have to have a valid
/etc/resolv.conf file, iptables must allow traffic over TCP and UDP
port 53 and your /etc/nsswitch.conf must contain the line:
hosts: files,dns
which it almost certainly does. Unless you're doing weird stuff, I'd
enable SELinux--particularly if your machine is exposed to the Internet.
