After some initial troubles with the Solaris lp system, I also decided
to completely substitute it with CSWcups on all of our Sun Ray Server.
After several people seem to do the same (or at least would like to), I
just documented the script snippets which we use to do so in the Wiki.

Your mileage may vary, it works very well for us though. Feel free to
provide feedback which should be integrated into the Wiki.
