there is no printing experience on Ubuntu Touch yet and it will indeed
not involve to plug a cable into your phone but use network printers ...
but as i understand the cups architecture even that needs the locally
running server anyway (and we can not run it permanently as it will
prevent the phone from sleeping most likely)
i personally just don't get why we cant make cups stop even on the
desktop unless the machine is an actual printserver, the additional
startup time will be minor on a modern desktop/laptop PC. i doubt people
would even notice that their print job takes a few seconds longer than
it would with a permanently running daemon.
doing it the same way on desktop and phone/tablet will simply save us
from having to maintain different special cases here.
