The first time I experimented with cups, I found that it was scanning
and finding bogus printers. The scanning was just screwing things up and
causing K Print Manager to hang. All I wanted to do was configure
gutenberg, ramunujan, and guthrie. I found that if I set
Browsing Off
in cupsd.conf
the problem went away. The default is On.

My cupsd.conf file keeps changing, adding printers I had deleted and

cupsd.conf? What file or files controls what gets put in cupsd.conf?
Remove system-config-printer if you need to hand-edit CUPS files.
In addition to getting rid of system-config-printer. Updating cups
package will sometimes overwrite your existing cupsd.conf (old copy
saved to cupsd.conf.rpmsave). Do you have yum enabled to automatically
download and install updates (what is the output of "chkconfig --list yum")?
If there are USB printers involved, there is apparently a bug where the
USB subsystem creates duplicates of printers created with other tools.
It's in Bugzilla somewhere, probably under CUPS.
