Both of those failed.

Installing with --nodeps does not produce several of the necessary files required according to the cupsaddsmb man pages:
           cups6.ini
           cupsui6.dll
           cupsdrv6.dll
           ps5ui.dll
           pscript.hlp
           pscript.ntf
           pscript5.dll

The RPM build of the CUPS source archive appeared to work until I got this:

RPM build errors:
    File not found by glob: /tmp/cups-root/etc/dbus-1/system.d/*

I found a redhat RPM build of the 1.2 source but am once again in dependency hell:

        cups-libs = 1:1.2.1 is needed by cups-1.2.1-2.i386
        dbus >= 0.60 is needed by cups-1.2.1-2.i386
        libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4) is needed by cups-1.2.1-2.i386
        libdbus-1.so.2 is needed by cups-1.2.1-2.i386
        libgnutls.so.12 is needed by cups-1.2.1-2.i386
        libgnutls.so.12(GNUTLS_1_2) is needed by cups-1.2.1-2.i386
        libldap-2.3.so.0 is needed by cups-1.2.1-2.i386
        libpam.so.0(LIBPAM_1.0) is needed by cups-1.2.1-2.i386
        kdelibs < 6:3.5.2-6 conflicts with cups-1.2.1-2.i386

Working on getting those packages, hopefully that will solve it.
