After you disabled cups-config-daemon did you go into
system-config-printer select your printer, change the print quality
settigs, and click on "Apply"?  If not, try it again because the 
settings provided by cups-config-daemon will still be in effect until
after you do.  By the way,   check system-config-services and make
sure that cups-config-daemon is not set to run at levels 3 and 4.
