Well I am not completely sure but maybe this information will help.
Do not configure cups printers with printconf, printconf-gui or
system-config-printer.
All Cups printers should be configured using the Cups web interface
(localhost:631)
Cups postscript printdriver files are in the
directory /usr/share/cups/model
So that is where your updated driver should be I assume.
