Which dependency?

Why don't you download
ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.3/en/os/SRPMS/samba-2.2.7-1.7.3.src.rpm
and rebuild it on your system?
Chances are that the 7.3 binary rpm's would work on rh72 too directly.

libcups is part of cups-libs rpm which you can install without causing any
problem (install just cups-libs and not cups rpm)
