Anthony, I hope that this will work in your case. It will need some more research to find out why it worked by default with the user-compiled versions, but I think I won't be bothered.

It will need some more research to find out why it worked by default with the user-compiled versions, but I think I won't be bothered. Probably because it was simply built without support for cups and automatically picked lpr? Here's another bug report about the same problem, http://bugs.debian.org/373911 BTW, when comparing a debian package with the upstream default it's usually best to start by examining the debian sources, both the patches and the way it's configured and built. This is very easy as the debian specific changes (diff.gz) are clearly separated from the upstream source (orig.tar.gz).
