cups certainly has a network component both as server and as client.

It's one of a few different methods (by far the most common) to
access networked printers so it may not be so misplaced in net-print.

Hi Peter and thanks for your answer. Yes, you are right about cups: it

actually uses net components but it's primarily use is to connect to a

printer, nothing more or less than that, even if it is connected to internet.

Even if we leave cups inside net-print, other packages like drivers are not

related to net in any way, as they only contains the necessary ppds for

printing. At the beginning of Gentoo that was acceptable because

packages were much less but now We should have to consider to place

them in a better position: that was already discussed, as said, and now

I'd like to finish that transition.

Marco
