I have submitted updated patch (cups-1.2.1-2.patch) in ports/99624 that
should fix all of the problems except ports/99602 (can't test it)

I've tested printing with following apps:
- cups' test page
- /usr/local/bin/lpr
- kprinter, kwrite - after configuring kde to use localhost instead of
/var/run/cups.sock
- gedit
- openoffice.org-2.0.3rc5
- windows xp - remote ipp and samba

I don't know if it is a problem with cups or kde, but I could print from
kde apps after switching from /var/run/cups.sock to localhost in kde's
printer settings.

I can succesfully compile net/samba3 and print/libgnomecups
