(i'd be happy to move this to a CUPS-specific mailing list
if one exists, although there is definitely a psyche-related
component to a lot of this.)

1) is there any conflict between the LPRng and CUPS config files?
   from what i see, LPRng uses /etc/printcap, while CUPS uses the
   /etc/cups directory structure.  so can one switch from one system
   to the other safely without clobbering the respective config
   files?

2) the "lpinfo" command has definitely non-standard UNIX behavior
   in that option order is relevant:

   $ lpinfo -v          # generates output
   $ lpinfo -lv         # no output
   $ lpinfo -vl         # output!

   that is *very* non-intuitive, and will trip a number of people.
   (not to mention that the addition of "-v" doesn't appear to 
   be any more verbose.)  the same feature holds with the -m option
   when combining with -v.
