Not sure what cause this, but I have had similar problem with 
system-config-printer in FC 4 too. It's really buggy IMO. I would set up a 
printer system-config-printer but it would not show up 
in /etc/cups/printers.conf (and in any application for that matter). 

Maybe try the following:
1. set up your printer
2. run this command from terminal:
/usr/sbin/printconf-backend --force-rebuild
3. Restart cups :
/sbin/service cups restart

Then check to see if your printer is in /etc/cups/printers.conf:
grep URI /etc/cups/printers.conf

You should see your printer listed there. If it is, then you should be fine.

Hope that helps
