For actual printing commandtops is not needed, but it seems that CUPS hardwires the requirement of its presence to unlock printing to a PostScript printer (PPD without *cupsFilter: line).
We either need to patch CUPS to remove this hard requirement (but still allow the use of commandtops if it is there) or we need to move commandtops into cups-core-drivers. Probably moving commandtops is much easier and it should not to take so much space. Didier, WDYT we should do here?
