We're only discussing whether or not to have the `cups' USE flag in the base profile, not the package itself. I don't believe we need it in the base profile. The only people who would enable it are those that are setting up a print server or those who are setting up a desktop, in which case they would want to use the desktop profile. -- Mr. Aaron W.
