I am in this same boat, with an FU8 install, even setting selinux to 
permissive doesn't give cups the rights to setup a new printer, it is still 
being denied. From the /var/log/cups/error_log:
E [03/Dec/2008:22:22:38 -0500] Pause-Printer: Unauthorized
E [03/Dec/2008:22:23:36 -0500] CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer: Unauthorized
E [03/Dec/2008:22:26:58 -0500] CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer: Unauthorized
