Hmm,

For me cups worked with no problems on ydl 2.1. I also installed from 
source following the instructions. The version of cups I used was 1.1.14-1.

I just upgraded to ydl 2.2. In the process I had to remove cups in order 
to do a successful upgrade, and didn't put it back yet. So I can't tell 
wether it works with 2.2 (yet).
