We have documentation for this...
Locate the backend directory:
cups-config --server-bin
This is usually /usr/lib/cups or /usr/libexec/cups.
Then copy the backend to the backend subdirectory:
cp backend /usr/lib/cups/backend
Finally, restart cupsd:
/etc/init.d/cups restart
The actual location of the init script may vary...
