Re: ITP: task-cups-printing

[Mariusz.Przygodzki@WAW1.siemens.pl]

Thanks.I has just reviewed this discussion and I have headache.
I have some proposal and please don't blame me 
if somebody is not happy from it.
What's wrong in following proposal (this is only theoretical game):

1. We have standard package task-printing.
2. task-printing depends on 
	lpr | task-lprng-printing | task-cups-printing | task-...
   and above packages are optional (except of lpr) 
   and conflicts between themselves.

>From the newbie perspective, I think, printing functionality are very
standard functionality and maybe he/she want even to select preferred
printing system. If not (or he/she has no knowledge about it)
he/she stays on lpr and he/sha may do it in the future.
