Summary:                    cups binaries conflict with system binary names
Description: 
I have only just noticed that "cupsclient" provides binaries that have a
namespace conflict with system level ones! :( specifically, lp, lpstat,
lpq, lpr, lprm, cancel

I dont recall this ever being brought up on the maintainers list, or
discussed previously. "cups" has always been just a black hole to me. Until
I decided to try using it just now :(
Please give some thought to this problem.

Part of cups deployment on Solaris is removing the SUNW printing packages. 
It's up to the user to remove the packages beforehand.

The packages are:
SUNWscplp SUNWppm SUNWpsu SUNWpsr SUNWpcu SUNWpcr

After these packages are removed, lp, lpstat, lpq and the like are all
gone from /usr/bin.  There are still conflicting man pages; I removed these
using a configuration management system.  I don't know if there's any good
way of handling that.

Back to the /usr/bin vs /opt/csw/bin topic, I don't see any issue with the
binary names.  There's a blog post that I used as a guideline for deploying
cups:

Perhaps we could have a better documentation and a better way of
delivering the documentation.
