You want to find out if its cups?  turn off the cups service and
reboot again and examine the log for similar messages. Isolate what
causes the problem if you can by turning off services one at a time.

As a counter-point I just booted into the 533smp  kernel and I'm not
seeing any problems with cups. I'm using a usb hp 3650 printer.

Are you sure its cups? and not something hardware specific that cups
just happens to set off?  I can start the system-config-printer 
dialog without the cups service running.
