My setup is about as bad :-).  I have not attempted to clean up after
all of the efforts.  At the moment the same commands give:

rpm -qa | grep gimp-print
gimp-print-cups-4.2.1-5
gimp-print-utils-4.2.1-5
gimp-print-4.2.1-5

rpm -qa | grep cups
cups-drivers-hpijs-1.9-1.20020617.6
cups-libs-1.1.17-13.3
gimp-print-cups-4.2.1-5
cups-drivers-pnm2ppa-1.9-1.20020617.6
cups-drivers-1.9-1.20020617.6
cups-devel-1.1.17-13.3
cups-1.1.17-13.3

I tried the "everything and the kitchen sink" approach.  At the moment
I have a _huge_ range of printer drivers installed.  I did not rpm -e
any of the printer driver sets I installed.  Instead I just added the
drivers, the gimp-print-4.2.3 was added via `make' and `make install'
and the drivers were just added to the list that was already there.
You have the cups-devel and cups-lib packages that are the main
prerequisite for this approach.

I will try removing the extra cups-drivers in the near future when I
have time to test carefully.
