By "installing" the older versions:
rpm -Uvh --force cups-1.1.23-30.2.i386.rpm
cups-libs-1.1.23-30.2.i386.rpm
will do the job.
As is usually the case, --force shouldn't be necessary: --oldpackage
should work just as well and will reveal if there are any dependency
issues (e.g. other packages that also need to be downgraded) with the
action, unlike --force.
