	I don't use RH or FC, so I'm, pretty much, just blowing smoke here. I'm 
pretty sure that you are right about the printers.conf file in /etc/cups, but 
you mentioned last week that you used "the GUI tool" to reset a print queue. 
What GUI tool would that be? Is it unique to FC or is it something like 
Webmin? What ever it is, I suspect that it's maintaining configuration files 
of it's own. Can you list, or have you listed, the files associated with this 
GUI tool to see if you can located it's configuration files?
