I have a personal hate-based relationship with CUPS. From what I remember, CUPS as we know it in the GNU+Linux world, is some kind of aborted Frankenstein built by Apple which they have probably evolved or caged/wrapped in MacOS, buy we deal with it face to face over the counter. In special (but not the onky reason) I despise it because it (by default?) requests the root credentials and you are expected to supply them to a web browser. BTW, I remember disabling the CUPS service on my templateVMs, because it used to be running by default on every VM and DispVM. I don't know if this is still the case.
