If you installed an rpm, you can do

$ rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/libcups.so.2

mine returns,
  cups-libs-1.1.14-15.4

then,
$  rpm -qilv cups-libs
<snip>
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root    root           111655 May 13 03:06 /usr/lib/libcups.so.2
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root    root            75802 May 13 03:06 
/usr/lib/libcupsimage.so.2

but there is one softlink libcupsdconf.so
so,
$ rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/libcupsdconf.so
kdelibs-3.0.5a-0.73.2

and,
$ rpm -qilv kdelibs |grep libcups
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root    root           274709 Jul 14 07:57 
/usr/lib/libcupsdconf-gcc2.96.so
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root    root             1170 Jul 14 07:57 
/usr/lib/libcupsdconf.la
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root    root               23 Jul 14 08:15 
/usr/lib/libcupsdconf.so -> libcupsdconf-gcc2.96.so


Remember you need to use full path/filename for the -q switch.
