How do I determine what version of CUPS I have?

I have been using Gimp-Print and am now upgrading to Gutenprint which requires cups 1.1.15 or newer. How do I find out which I have? I am running 10.2.8.

From what I can tell by googling, Jaguar has CUPS 1.1.15.

Greg is correct.
Jaguar used version 1.1.15
Panther used version 1.1.20
Tiger uses version 1.1.23

You can determine your version in several ways. The geeky way to find out is to use the Terminal and use the command:
cups-config --version

The easier way is to click on this link. This will display the CUPS web interface from your own computer. The CUPS version will be in the title bar for the web page.
