When a printer is modified the previous version of the config file is moved to printers.conf.0   This may happen even if there is no actual change.  I just made a change....

[root at meimei cups]# ll printers.conf*
-rw-------. 1 root lp 1464 Nov 13 08:30 printers.conf
-rw-------. 1 root lp 1476 Nov 13 08:29 printers.conf.O

[root at meimei cups]# diff printers.conf.O printers.conf
