Where does the libcups.so come from? libcups1-devel?

Nope. libcups1

Due to this symlink being in the package.

  $ rpm -ql libcups1-1.1.19-0.9mdk | grep \.so$
  /usr/lib/libcups.so

In cups.spec I found the following:

  # This ".so" link is in the main package but not in the devel package
  # because it is needed for the function overloading in XPP and QTCUPS
  %{_libdir}/libcups.so

Wouldn't it be better to move the \.so$ file to the -devel package and let xpp and qtcups Require libcups1-devel or add -avoid-version to it? Then the issue is put with the packages that are causing the problem.
