There's no problem with binary compatibility, but you should probably 
remove lprng, printtool, omni, and all that stuff first.  

As Kjetil points out, though, the source install is not difficult.  Just 
remember to get the latest gimp-print package and install it to the same 
- --prefix as CUPS.

If you need an xinetd start script for cups-lpd (to allow CUPS to accept
lpd connections for older clients), let me know.  The init script for
CUPS itself is included and installed by ./configure, so that's taken
care of.
