Perhaps you had experimented with the 'Server settings' checkboxes in
either the system-config-printer tool or the CUPS web interface after
making the changes to cupsd.conf?

Nothing else in FC-6 ought to be making any changes to that file at all.

As in another reply: select 'Share published printers' in the server
settings screen, and select 'Shared' for each printer you want to
publish. (That checkbox ought to read 'Published' actually..)

In FC-6 cupsd.conf should only be modified as a result of you changing
the 'Server Settings' checkboxes, either in system-config-printer or in
the CUPS web interface.
