Cups 1.5.0

Currently I'm running an Ubuntu home server running the Oneiric Ocelot (11.10) which is running CUPS 1.5.0. One of this server's functions around the home is to act as a print server. Unfortunately, the household right now consists of one Arch Linux system, running CUPS 1.5.2, and an Apple macbook, also running CUPS 1.5.2, so we have no compatibility with our print server. Unfortunately, when I installed Arch it was installed already running 1.5.2, so I can't go to my Pacman cache in order to backdate my package. Does anyone know where I might be able to find a CUPS 1.5.0 package for Arch (or as a bonus, for OSX Lion.. but mostly for Arch )?

Re: Cups 1.5.0

Look up "Downgrading Packages" in the wiki.

Re: Cups 1.5.0

And now I must do the walk of shame. I had already read the wiki page on downgrading, and knew I wouldn't find the package I was looking for in either the ARM or in my cache... but failed to consult the out of sync mirrors. Which is exactly where I found what I needed. This is definitely solved.
