Wrong list.  This problem appears to be specific to the code of the  
Net::CUPS extension, so try a CUPS list, or ping the extension's author.

That smells an awful lot like the perl extension expects to build  
against a different version of the CUPS C library than you have.   
Since you're getting deprecation warnings, and it looks like the  
extension code is using symbols that don't exist, the extension  
probably doesn't support CUPS 1.2.x.
