To clarify this: there are two distinct programs referred to as
'system-config-printer', and this confusing state of affairs is a result
of the naming convention in Fedora.

In Fedora Core up to version 5, and in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4,
it is a utility that doesn't have a lot of enthusiastic fans (to put it
kindly).  Its version numbers go to 0.6.x in these products.

In Fedora Core 6, to be released this week, 'system-config-printer'
refers to a completely re-written application, which a version number
like 0.7.x.  Its interface was in fact modelled on the CUPS 1.2 web
interface, which has been a great help in making it better.  The
screenshots in a recent Red Hat Magazine article
(http://www.redhat.com/magazine/022aug06/features/fc6_print/#scp) are of
this new application.

Perhaps the original poster has seen version 0.7.x of
system-config-printer?
