install newer cups version on OsX?

[Maak]

this is bad luck for me, then - my kyocera FS-1020D has a ecoprint feature that cannot be activated via cups (1.1) - I had hoped this would be different in a newer version, but now kyo support tells me there is a workaround using a PC, to set the ecoPrint feature on "permanent".

Thank you!
