My first thought was that it might be a bit thin on CUPS, since CUPS (I think) is the most popular way of printing. But on the other hand, since you've linked to the CUPS article I guess that's alright. And you've already added a section that allows more additions to CUPS (and other printing systems as well). So yes, I think it looks great and can't find any reasons not to commit it.
