Pierre, Thanks for that - thats the proper way to fix it ;-)
I read the actual cups startup script and there is a conditional statement that says "if file /usr/sbin/setcupsconfig is executable, then create a default cups file". SO what I ended up doing was a chmod a-x on that file, and it fixed the problem, but your solution is much tidier.
