Description Mario Fetka (geos_one) 2007-03-06 17:01:39 UTC 
this binary soft has a hardcoded path to the backand dir (/usr/lib/cups/...)

the 1.2 cups installs the backend to /usr/libexec/cups/....

is it possible to create an compatibility link

Sure, go create if for yourself if you are using it... ;) It most likely won't work with cups-1.2 anyway, symlink or not, but that's not a Gentoo problem.

Anyway, the proper fix is to use app-admin/chrpath or preferably scanelf -BXr from app-misc/pax-utils to fix those.
