Where does FC1 hide printer definitions?

Thanks for responding to my message and attempting to help. But next time it 
would help if you'd actually read what I wrote first.

Note that I'm using cups and said nothing about 'linux' printing. My question 
was about a specific distro (FC1) and in what hidden place it stores its 
printer definitions that it uses to over-write cups config files.

Thanks again,
Michael
