Summary:                    cupsclient lacks docs
Description: 
I decided to try switching to using "cupsclient" for printing.
Installed the package... and was left scratching my head.
the postinstall mentions "/etc/opt/csw/cups".
Which only contents "client.conf.CSW".
Which mentioned "man client.conf". Which is similarly unhelpful.
Looked in /opt/csw/share/doc/cupsclient.
Only thing there is the license file.

Please add some level of documentation to address,
"here's what you do if you actually want to print to something".


What would be helpful, would be two things:
1. mention of "how do I set up a printer"?
2. mention of "what do I do instead of the usual 'lp' ?"
