Something is weird, this is my output :
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 156590 2003-12-15 22:23 /usr/lib/libcups.a*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 99544 2003-12-15 22:23 /usr/lib/libcupsimage.a*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 109832 2003-12-15 22:23 /usr/lib/libcups.so.2*

So it seems that you have extra files with an 'O'...

Try to upgrade your cups packages if it helps...
