exactly what i do.

lpd as print spooler, all programs compiled without CUPS if possible, and 
now my simple script using Xdialog to ask where do you like to print - 
started in place of lpr.

Duplex printing is set as separate printer, so all user have to do is 
single click selecting of "duplex" printer.

For windows clients, i always use "LaserJet 2300 PS" driver for every 
server provided printer, so no bloat of supplied drivers and their adverts 
about buying paper.

And no problem changing network printer to another model.
