Actually, I've not hand edited it at all, though I did notice that
there was a mime.types.rpmnew following yum running nightly.
Since I hadn't changed the mime.types file, I just did a
"mv mime.types.rpmnew mime.types" and restarted the cups
service.
No joy.
Oh, and my printers were created via:
foomatic-ppdfile -d hpijs -p 'HP-OfficeJet_6200' > /tmp/oj6200.ppd
lpadmin -p 'officejet-6200-series' -v usb:/dev/usb/lp0 -P /tmp/oj6200.ppd \
-D 'HP OfficeJet 6200' -L 'The Office' -E -o printer-is-shared=true
lpadmin -d 'officejet-6200-series'
(or as -v lpd://server/officejet-6200-series on remote clients...)
I find this to be a lot more reliable than using system-config-printer,
and I can build it into the ks_post.cfg file that I run in Kickstart.
Though... I just tried to run system-config-printer right now, and
besides belching:
No match for USB device:
mfr "HP"
model "Officejet 6200 series"
desc "5740"
cmdset "MLC,PCL,PML,DW-PCL,DESKJET,DYN"

Choose 'foomatic' as the component.
It also is graying out the 'edit' button on the control panel.
