There may or may not be anything of interest here, but a couple of years back we designed a new printer detection and setup subsystem for Solaris, including a GUI.  We never quite fully implemented it, so in the end it never handled CUPS, for example, but the intention was always that the GUI could accommodate multiple backends.
