[cups.general] Make lprng work with cups

[Rob Tanner]

Julien,

We had a problem a while back with Macs printing to the CUPS server.  
They could talk to cups, but as soon as you requested to print multiple 
copies, you'd get the copy count squared (e.g., it would send a 5 copy 
print job 5 times).  After a bit of googling, I found out about the 
cups-lpd daemon which would allow the Macs to use lpd to talk to the 
CUPS server.  Since lprng is basically an enhanced lpd, I would imagine 
the cups-lpd would be the answer.
