I just started looking at CUPS, and have now tried it on two different
systems. I was previously using lprng and magicfilter on one of the
systems, while the other couldn't print at all (networked printers using
HP's JetDirect system - never could get lprng to print to these). I've
found CUPS *much* easier to get up and running. Especially when it comes to
setting up printing to networked printers - both the JetDirect printers as
well as a printer being shared out from a Windows machine were simple to set
up.
As a side note, with the cupsomatic-ppd package installed there is support
for the DJ540.
