"Printing on a UNIX-like operating system has traditionally given headaches to even experienced sysadmins." "Specify the WITHOUT_CUPS=yes environment variable when building gimp-print; we'll use standard lpd(8) in this article and to avoid the clutter of CUPS." Last time I installed a printer with cups and gnome it took 10 seconds (20 with the apt-get), but by all means you should continue to use lpd and arcane setups for maximum l33tness.

  i have tried CUPS installations on a couple of sites (FreeBSD/Samba small office servers), and i always end up back with lpd. it's small, reliable, efficient, and effective. CUPS is a fine piece of software, but so is LPD.
