So it seems that the the only way currently to add a printer is using the CUPS web interface. I hope this helps you.

That was true before FC6. In FC6, system-config-printer is compatible with
CUPS, and either can be used. Tim Waugh would surely have mentioned if the
OP were using the wrong tool, and he said before:
