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.

Overlooking the potential disagreement about naming principles for a
minute... There's some inconsistency here.
If your standpoint is "the sun packages need to be removed", then you
should also complain, or do something, about the fact that if you install
nothing but CSWcupsclient, there is a conflict with SUNWpcu and SUNWpcr

Doing your check/removal for CSWcups only, is incomplete, from a user
standpoint. It seems like a reasonable thing to me in some circumstances to
install only CSWcupsclient without ever installing CSWcups

For the documentation: I'm not suggesting that you write The Definitive
Guide To CUPS setup. Only that you please at least provide a reference to
one, in
/opt/csw/share/doc/cupsclient  :-)
