What are you talking about?  cups doesn't offer any (GUI) print control
by itself.  It relies on external programs like xpp, kprinter...

?  cups is primarily a printer server running ipp.  So you can set your
clients to connect to http://server:631/printers/PrinterName.  This also
works in Windows.   Further, there's a mini-lpd printer daemon built in
to cups which allows printer clients to connect using lpr protocol.  To
enable it, do "chkconfig cups-lpd on".  Also CUPS itself is able to
connect to remote printers using lpr.

In case you haven't noticed - I very much like cups ;)
