A third option:

Go to

   https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

Input 'python-cups' in the 'Search package directories' field.  Click.
Do you see 'wheezy-backports' at the top of the page you get?  Click.
Another click on the package name. Is #656640 fixed in the package?
'Debian Changelog'. Click.
