system-config-printer not writing configuration ?

Hello,
I am running 64 bit Fedora Core 4, fully updated as of this morning. I am
trying to set up printer, but whenever I try to print test page, I got the
message:
"There was a problem sending CUPS test page to "<queue name>" queue:
lpr: error - unable to print file: client-error-not-found"
This happens for all the printer that I setup, which are:
1. HP Laserjet on the network (using Jetdirect)
2. IPP Printer on another Redhat machine
3. Samba printer on another windows machine.
When I try to check /etc/cups/printers.conf, i found out that it seems no
device is configured there.
]# grep URI /etc/cups/printers.conf
# DeviceURI: the device URI for this printer.
#DeviceURI parallel:/dev/plp
#DeviceURI serial:/dev/ttyd1?baud=38400+size=8+parity=none+flow=soft
...
All the entries there are commented out. However, after I quit
system-config-printer, and run it again, I still can see the configured
printers there. So system-config-file must write it somewhere, but probably
not the right place.
Has anyone seen this ?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
RDB
