Actually no: for this beta, cups has an 'Obsoletes: LPRng' tag so that LPRng is removed and replaced with cups. The current redhat-config-printer tool can no longer write out correct configuration files for LPRng/foomatic-3.0.0, which is one of the reasons for leaving LPRng out. However it might be that there are things that redhat-switch-printer does that 'rpm -Uvh cups-*' won't do, and if so that's probably worth a bugzilla report. I think the 'alternatives' links should already be handled, but there may be a 'printconf-backend --force-rebuild' missing somewhere. Tim. */
