Could you please learn to give a few more details?

Such as querying your enabled repositories for the available package
versions?  For example, cups-libs-1.5.2-1.fc16 is from updates-testing
(and still in that repository), whereas cups-libs-1.5.0-22.fc16.i686 is an
older one. So, is the updates-testing repository enabled on your machine?
You must not enable it only temporarily when you want to install multiarch
packages.

Multiarch packages, such as cups-libs, typically are available with exactly
the same version-release for multiple architectures. That means, if you
get the "protected multilib versions" error, do query the repository (and
your local RPM database) for what is installed and what is available.
This is the most basic homework you could do. cups-libs.x86_64 and 
cups-libs.i686
are found in the same repository and are published at the same time. Normally.
