So I've been digging into it, and the problem is that  
HAVE_CUPS_API_1_2 *should* be defined in config.h. The underlying  
problem is that for CUPS before 1.2, the http struct was exposed, so  
that dispatch->request->http->fd compiles; for 1.2 and later, one  
needs to use the accessor httpGetFd (dispatch->request->http) instead.  
It seems, though, that in some of my builds gtkprintbackendcups.c  
compiles anyway, even if HAVE_CUPS_API_1_2 isn't defined -- so  
something else is going on.
