CUPS uses the same command-line interface/format as the old System V
LP system.  You can use interface scripts as long as they start with
"#!/bin/sh" (or whatever shell you need) - typically most interface
scripts will work with little or no modification, the most common
being the addition of the "#!/bin/sh" line...
