LPRng-style printer spec with CUPS?

	For a lot of reasons, that seems like the best thing for me
to do.  I'm worried about what will break, though.  Here's what
"rpm -e cups" shows:

        /usr/bin/lpr is needed by (installed) redhat-lsb-1.3-1
        cups >= 1.1.17-4 is needed by (installed) system-config-printer-0.6.98-1
        cups is needed by (installed) libgnomecups-0.1.6-7
        cups >= 1:1.1.17-10 is needed by (installed) gimp-print-cups-4.2.6-11

The first dependency would be fixed by installing LPRng, so it's not
a problem.  The second (system-config-printer) I can live without.
What about libgnomecups?  Anybody know if it really depends on cups
being installed, and what will break if libgnomecups breaks?  Finally,
what about gimp-print-cups?  Can I get gimp-print to work with LPRng
without recompiling it?

						Thanks in advance,
