I have a recently updated/freshly installed fedora core 6 workstation

I cannot find anywhere in the "system-config-printer" program that says
"allow printing from network".

I had to edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and add a "Listen hostname:631" and
an "Allow mynetwork" line there.

After I added them, the two lines mysteriously disappeared. We tried
reproducing the program by starting system-config-printer again, making
changes, restarting cups, etc... the changes stayed. I'm thinking
whatever overwrote my cupsd.conf is waiting for me to be out of the
building to break it again.

Is there a proper "fedora-way" to tell cups to allow for network
printing?
Is there a reason why my changes to cupsd.conf are getting replaced?
The correct way to do this is setup the printer on the print server
using cups web interface (localhost:631) and then do nothing on the
clients as far as client.conf is concerned. All computers on the same
LAN will be able to print to the print server.

Or to me more specific do not use system-config-printer to configure the
printer.
