libcups is usually present, especially as nowadays most scanners (and
especially most Linux-friendly ones) have this test page generation
unit under the scanning mechanics :)
In my opinion libcups should get moved into a project separate from
cupsd, as it is the standard implementation for IPP in free software,
and with the PWG (Printer Working Group, http://www.pwg.org/) IPP Scan
and IPP System Service libcups will not stay a print-only thingy but
will also serve for scanning and other things.
libcups is indeed a very good alternative to libcurl.
