printcap.local and cups

Hello!
I have a question regarding printcap.local (or just printcaps in
general) and cups under Fedora Core 2.
I am trying to install a fairly odd printer that requires its own
printcap to work. The installation instructions tells me to put this:
ttp7000:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/ttp7000:\
:if=/usr/local/swecoin/ttp7000.sh:\
:mx#0:mc#99:sh:
into printcap.local and restart lpd with "/etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd restart".
So far so good except that as I understand it Fedora don't use lpd but
it uses cups. And to make matters worse I have heard rumours that cups
ignores /etc/printcap.local. :-)
My question is this: is there any way that I can tell cups about the
information in the above printcap? If so, how do I do that?
Thanks in advance!
