Roland, complaining here does not help (and it is the wrong bug report anyway
;-)
Johannes, if we assume that the "API" (in this case the command line arguments)
for the backends do not change, we could simply package the serial and parallel
backends from CUPS 1.5 as an addon package.
I would volunteer to do that (and would welcome Roland if he wants to help).
Unless, of course, you tell me that those backends are really broken and a
major source of pain from a maintainance POV (which I honestly cannot imagine
since the technology is old, even "mature" nowadays, but I will of course
accept your advice). If you think this is a very good idea, I will go out and
by a network module for my old parallel port printer ;)
So if the time comes that openSUSE updates to CUPS 1.6, please drop me a note
and I will create that addon package.
