Cups likes to destroy my local configuration, without a save of the old one, every time it's upgraded.
I've fixed it temporarily with chattr +i, but is there a standard way for defining a definitive local configuration?

Remove system-config-printer (or else, use system-config-printer exclusively when configuring CUPS).

desktop-printing has a dependency on system-config-printer. In my particular case, it doesn't matter, as I'm removing it on a server only.
And that's an ugly fix.

Hello Tim,
I am not sure where these settings are, since I am using the Gnome Desktop Environment.

Regards, Luciano Rocha -- 4/11 Hello Luciano,
I agree with you. It seems that each time CUPS is upgraded, I lose my print configuration settings on my LAN. I am trying to find out how to maintain those settings without losing them each time CUPS is upgraded. The way I was able to find out about this (besides not being able to print) was when I checked the cupsd.config file and saw that my settings were gone.

in particular, any upgrade destroy the raw option rewriting an # that I have to remove manually in mimes.convs.

If you create a raw queue, this won't happen.

Through the CUPS web interface:
"Add Printer", choose "Raw" for "Model/Driver for <Printer-name-chosen>"

Hello,
I am not quite sure what you mean by creating a "raw queue" ? How do you do this?

In the 'Printer driver' tab, change the manufacturer to 'Generic' and select 'Raw Print Queue'.

Tim,
it works from the network PC's but driver prevents correct printing from the local machine. Do you mean that I have to create to print queue's??

You don't have to print to that queue -- just create it. If there is a raw queue defined, mime.convs will accept raw data.

I've got a worse problem with cups. Somewhere along the upgrade path I not only lost the printer config, but now I cannot get a printer re installed. Kudzu isn't seeing the printer and I can't get cups to successfully print a test page.
Any ideas on how to fix this situation ?
The printer is a Lexmark parallel port Optra S.
Thanks.
