Yes, eggcups is the culprit, And more, the RH folks hacked CUPS heavily
to conform to their dbus stuff and use eggcups to trace the print job's
progress. That leads to excessive error messages ("Job xxxx doesn't exist")
on CUPS servers running on non-RH machines (corresponding to the HTTP
messages in the access_log.

You better never use the gnome printing support stuff.
