[Voyage-linux] Print Spooling Software (CUPS vs LPRNG)

We're looking at implementing a small appliance and were pondering which 
spooling system we should use.

I'm familiar with CUPS, but I think it might be overkill for what we're 
going to be using it for.  We don't need all the fancy drivers, etc. 
The print files are already going to be in the native format of the 
printer.

I was thinking that LPRng big be a better fit - just to make sure things 
get queued up appropriately.

The stock BSD would work also, but I think there are still some security 
issues with it.

I just wanted to check with the group to see if you guys have any 
suggestions one way or the other.
