I don't know if proprietary is the right word, but Red Hat definitely does
some things that differ from other distros with regards to CUPS.

I got in trouble thinking everything was in /etc/cups. You can either edit
the config files, or use the redhat-config-printer tool - but if you mix and
match you can get in trouble. Red Hat's GUI tools store some information in
/etc/alchemist in a compressed XML file. I can't tell you how many times I
edited a config file only to have it overwritten by the GUI at some other
time.
