CUPS then has to actually be in use on the majority of Free OS's then
for it to be The GNOME Printing System.  RedHat used LPRng by default
until RH9, Slackware(iirc) just switched to lprng from an older system,
etc.

Still doesn't change the fact that GNOME just shouldn't care what
underlying print spooler is used - if necessary, just use
components/plugins for specialized features in a generic, neutral
interface.  Then I can mix-and-match spool systems based on actual
needs, not an artificial spooler popularity contest.  ^,^
