I added a section about CUPS, mostly cribbed from the pkg-descr, to the 
handbook printing chapter.  I'm pretty fuzzy with doc tools and such, 
and therefore need a thorough review.  Please have at me over the 
attached diff, and thanks in advance.  ;^)

I'm not on the docs@ list currently, so please keep my name in the reply 
addresses.
