It's CUPS as a whole, not cups-lpd (see previous messages). system-config-printer before FC6 is only optional in that if you have it installed, it (and no other tool) must be used to manage the queues. This is a constraint the design (circa RHL8, pre-dating CUPS's inclusion), and there was never enough time for a re-design or a re-write. > P.S.

I seem to recall that the printconf-backend for CUPS only adjusts one of mime.convs/mime.types. Tim. */
