As Peter said, you need the cups-dev package. This is in fact the only 
cups package provided by fink, because the cups system itself comes 
already with Mac OSX. Apple has been using cups as their printing system 
since OSX 10.2. They just don't include the header files, hence the need 
for fink's cups-dev package.

But you said you had it installed before you compiled scribus-1.1.0 (and 
maybe I should make this a requirement for the fink scribus package). In 
this case it should have found the cups headers and libraries 
automatically. It did for me, at least. If you rebuild scribus, you can 
look at the messages from the configure stage, and you should see things 
like

checking for httpConnect in -lcups... yes
checking cups/cups.h usability... yes
checking cups/cups.h presence... yes
checking for cups/cups.h... yes

If you get "no" here, there is something else wrong (or cups-dev isn't 
installed correctly).

I can see the landscape orientation offered in the options window of the 
printing dialog.
