Fink's version 1.1.10 of CUPS is very old. If you adapt the fink info
file to the latest released version 1.1.14 or, better yet, to a snapshot
of the CVS sources, you don't need any patch file any more. The
"InstallScript: make BUILDROOT=%d install" works OK. 

It compiles without problems, but it installs some stuff into
/System/Library/StartupItems/PrintingServices to get started at bootup.
In a definitive Fink package, this would probably have to be replaced by
something based on daemonic. 

To make the web interface work, I had to add some lines to
/sw/etc/cupsd.conf: Around line 651:

AuthType Basic
AuthClass User

And then "Allow From" lines for any machine from which you want to use
this web interface.
