not to beat a dead horse... but i can edit my printer definition via
system-config-printer without the cups service running. The cups
service doesnt get started till i hit the apply button.

Try stopping the cups service... make sure everything looks okay with
cups stopped
then run s-c-printer and edit the entry... see if it thrashes before
you hit apply... if it thrashes see if the cups process was
restarted...
