Basically the functionality got dropped by Apple (cups upstream) in favour of 
zeroconf, and re-implemented in an extra package maintained at the Linux 
Foundation.

Other stuff moved that way as well, e.g. the serial and parallel port backends 
are not in cups proper anymore, as well as the filters for direct printing of 
image formats or the Perl and PHP bindings. We (as everyone else in the Linux 
world) pull in cups-filters as a PDEPEND of cups now, so nothing changes in 
effect- which is why this all need not be mentioned in the newsitem.
