Cups is the print manager: is the server that make you print files. The simplest way to upgrade only some packages with yum is set only the packages you want upgrade. For doing this I suggest you a GUI for yum, such as yumex (http://linux.rasmil.dk/mambo). I belive you have FC3.
Everyone kept saying how good this application was so finally I tried this thing and it is really better than gyum or yum extender or anything else I have ever used for Fedora/RH.
SMART.

Dag has rpms for them here:

Grab the smart, smart-gui and smart-update packages.
Launch choose all the repos for rpm packages you want and click the green arrows to update the list of packages.
Oh it is sweet and fast and makes my linux-loving gnome desktop hugging heart glad.
The gui could use a tad bit of love imho for the noobs in use all but
otherwise it is great!!
This is not good because fedora's install manager is yum (i apologize to purists for this sentence).
So I suggest yum's guis...
