It's default minus docs:

# make showconfig
===> The following configuration options are available for cups-2.1.3_2:
     AVAHI=on: Zeroconf support via Avahi
     DBUS=on: D-Bus IPC system support
     DOCS=off: Build and/or install documentation
     GNUTLS=on: SSL/TLS support via GnuTLS
     IPPTOOL=off: Internet Printing Protocol testing tool
     LIBPAPER=on: Paper size selection support via libpaper
     NLS=on: Native Language Support
     X11=off: Install desktop menu item
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings

Well, my previous system was r296485, however, since I don't use
printers frequently, not sure for 100% it wasn't broken, but it was
definitely working fine with r292595.
