We use LPRng instead of CUPS because of CUPS' chattyness. We have

CUPS is a great design for a desktop client and one or two printers;
it
really fails when you attempt to scale it up to an actual server
level.
Chattyness is completely adjustable. It's a CUPS tuning and filtering
question. Send me a copy of your config, and I can probably help.
Might be good to make this a kind of tutorial. There seem to be a few
here who could use some tips, people being what they are, likely not all
those who do will step up and say so.
