The simplest solution is to simply do

rpm -Uvh --nodeps ...

Better would be to edit the cups.spec entering the correct CUPS version 
(1.1.22) in its header.

The relation between dbus and CUPS on Ref Hat/Fedora systems is that the 
CUPS package there is patched to use dbus for notifying the user about 
jobs in progress. The user gets informed by an icon in the system tray 
(egg tray) of GNOME, KDE, or IceWM.
