after update of my 1.1.19 by typing:
rpm -U --force --nodeps cups-client-1.1.19-48.i586.rpm
rpm -U --force --nodeps cups-devel-1.1.19-48.i586.rpm
rpm -U --force --nodeps cups-libs-1.1.19-48.i586.rpm

I didn't find any option "RunAsUser". But copying 
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf.rpmnew  to cupsd.conf  I got one! I commented it
out, restarted cupsd ... and success!!  Two disabled printers got 
working immediately! The were enabled automatically! Thank you Helge.

I did it just a few minutes ago. But it seems to work without, too.
