CUPS is designed for office LANs. Trying to put it on XO intended for educating children in remote areas is an overkill. After all, digital cameras and smart phones don't come with cups and many people (even in cities seem) to get by fine).
Let us not forget that printers are a power hog and the power required to drive printers is better spent in operating XOs. Yes, there will be deployments that will have access to power, printers, ink supplies and large reams of paper. But those places are also likely to have access to admins who should be able to install and setup LAN printing. FWIW ..
