My answer would be exactly the same as Paul here :) But to add,
since most of Solaris User base falls into the categories of hundreds of
printers,
Solaris LP works better in this regards. However, we don't want to
rule out the benefits that come with CUPS for other group of users who
do not have hundred of printers in their network. Hence my original
posting :)
