My only gripe is that LPRng actually offers more features.
It allows pre-filters - by user - or by LPRng itself.

This is useful when you need to modufy the job BEFORE it is spooled.

cups while being a verry good peice of software only offers post queue filters. 

If you need to add say a coverpage with user input or si\omthing not covered by a normal print gui
then this is what is needed.

Aside from this Cups is for me much more robust and easier to configure than LPRng.
It is also much better integrated into most programs than LPRng
