I just checked http://www.cups.org/articles.php?L397 and CUPS is at 
1.2.2 already.
I also remember a major problem with 1.2.0. See these threads :

http://forums.pcbsd.org/viewtopic.php?t=4173&highlight=cups
http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?t=42391

I remember that the severity of the bug was so great that the 1.2.1 
update was in the ports in a week or so.
I'm not in front of a BSD machine to be sure, but have you upgraded 
your ports lately? Cups 1.2.1 should at least be there.

Also, I don't think you are running FreeBSD 5.11-Release-p2.... yet! :)
