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.

btw, the "name clashes" on postfix are okay, because they are in a
different location, rather then /opt/csw/bin. That's why we have
/opt/csw/gnu as well.
