Nope, about all you can do is generate a new printers.conf, copy
it and the PPDs to /etc/cups and /etc/cups/ppd, and then restart
the CUPS service.

Of course, since you have support you can report this problem to
Red Hat and let them know that 1.1.20 and higher do not have this
problem, and that to support you they have to provide you with
that version...
