CUPS was acquired by Apple and the main developer worked there until recently. Now he has forked Apple CUPS into OpenPrinting CUPS: https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups The Apple CUPS repo has been inactive for quite some time: https://github.com/apple/cups. Thoughts on a new package or just switching upstreams? The risk, of course, is that Apple's version becomes active again, but not sure how likely that is.
Created attachment 684987 [details, diff] cups-2.3.3-r2.ebuild.diff That's my current WIP available from poly-c overlay.
Other downstreams: https://repology.org/project/cups-openprinting/versions There is another package claiming the OpenPrinting namespace, not in Gentoo, only in DPorts/FreeBSD, so rather historical: https://repology.org/project/openprinting/versions https://sourceforge.net/projects/openprinting/
