There is no single directory to "uninstall" - you basically just have to install 1.4.2 over top 1.3.11. However, I highly recommend using the source code from darwinsource since you can render a system unable to boot if you build CUPS with the wrong architectures.

If you *do* decide to build from the cups.org sources, the following configure options MUST be used on an Intel system:

    ./configure ... any other options ... --with-archflags="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc" --with-ldarchflags="-arch i386 -arch ppc" --disable--bannertops --disable-pdftops --disable-texttops

If you building for a PowerPC system use:

    ./configure ... any other options ... --with-archflags="-arch ppc -arch ppc64" --with-ldarchflags="-arch ppc" --disable--bannertops --disable-pdftops --disable-texttops
