As for Andy...I have not seen it reappear by itself even after printing

If it's not reappearing then you're lucky in which case recompiling
would be overkill.
For me, (under F9 at least) it did reappear and I had no real choice.

to print)

one of the first things that I did when I ran into the problem was to
move /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and replace it with the rpmsave version since
this was an upgrade from earlier versions of Fedora.

I suspect that the earlier version of my cupsd.conf contributed to the
problem.

Was yours an upgrade from an earlier version of Fedora or was this a
clean F9 install?

Sorry, actually F8. (though I think that's not relevant. It's the cups version that's relevant and seems to happen from 1.3.4 onwards.
It was a clean F8 install.
Even stranger, another box I have at work (also a clean F8 install) did what you described above, where I only had to remove that line once.
If you look at the timestamp on your printers.conf, you'll see its updated whenever you print (after the job is submitted)
Looking at the code, I think it might be a structure member that's not initialised and therefore whether or not this happens can be 'random'.
(Didn't go into that deeply, just wanted it to work and was getting quite annoyed that I was blowing away a day just to be able to print)
