wrong pathes to foomatic-rip on x86-64

[George Liu]

I have SUSE 10 running on a AMD 64 bit machine. 
Yes, Foomatic-rip is installed in /usr/bin, and softlink in
/usr/lib64/cups/filter.

But I didn't see any problem for cups to invoke Foomatic-rip. (The PPD
file didn't specify path for Foomatic-rip either)
I used all default installation of SUSE 10 (with KDE) and I didn't copy
Foomatic-rip or change path or anything. It worked out of the box.
