The problem "CUPS doesn't provide any backends if there is an error
during installation" is already fixed in 1.2.1-4, #376499.

But you said CUPS didn't provide nothing even if you copied backend programs
from /usr/lib/cups/backend-available to /usr/lib/cups/backend, right?

What kind of printer do you use? USB connection?
Are you using udev?

Thanks,
