Regarding comment #0:
Many Thanks for testing CUPS 1.4.2 and for your bug report!
CUPS 1.4.2 in the openSUSE build servise Printing project
is a reset to full compliance with upstream.
Note that the Printing project is a development project
and not at all an official repository for production use.
Up to now CUPS 1.4.2 isn't even submitted to openSUSE:Factory.
What you corrently have is a "work-in-progress-development version".
Upstream CUPS installs executables (in particular backends and filters)
into /usr/lib/ in any case which is the right place.
Compare /usr/bin/ there is nothing like /usr/bin64/ because
for executables special ...64 directories do not make sense.
In contrast libraries like libcups.so and libcupsimage.so
must be installed into /usr/lib/ and /usr/lib64/
which cups-libs-1.4.2 does so that the subject of the bug
"installs 32 bit libraries" is wrong.
A consequence of the full compliance with upstream CUPS is
that other packages like foomatic-filters must be adapted
to work also in compliance with upstream CUPS.
Currently on x86_64 foomatic-filters.rpm contains this link
/usr/lib64/cups/filter/foomatic-rip -> ../../../bin/foomatic-rip
which cannot work with upstream CUPS 1.4.2 on x86_64.
Therefore foomatic-filters must also be simplified to have
on any architecture the same link
/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip -> ../../../bin/foomatic-rip
For openSUSE 11.3 our old Suse specific mess in the printing system
with executables in /usr/lib64/ will be cleaned up everywhere
to be everywhere in compliance with upstream!
A positive side effect of this clean-up is that then it works much
better to install third-party printer drivers (which usually install
only into /usr/lib/cups/) and/or with self-compiled packages from
upstream (e.g. if you like to test or use a self-compiled upstram CUPS
in our openSUSE 11.3 printing system).
Regarding comment #1:
CUPS has nothing to do with bug#558981.
This bug is about the non-official CUPS 1.4.2 from the Printing project.
In contrast bug #558981 is about whatever issue regarding whatever
printer driver. Please read more carefully what the issues are about
before causing confusion like in comment #1.
