I had a similiar problem.
After uninstalling the default CUPS drivers and re-installing the updated
drivers everything worked fine.
Merely "upgrading" the existing RPM's did not work though.
It was not until I performed an uninstall then re-install that things
started working.
Curiously this also fixed my Samba printing problem as well.

Subject: [newbie] cannot get cups to work
When I first installed LM 7.2 my printer worked just fine, then one day I
tried to print and I got the error that it couldn't reach the cups server.
Since then I have tried reinstalling cups with many different updates but I
have still had no luck. every time I reinstall I go to printerdrake and it
hangs on "reading driver database". the web interface (http://localhost:631)
also does not work.
Any help is greatly appreciated
