CUPS is almost the only game in town, but there was a project I long
admired a great deal, that ran a very lightweight print subsystem with no
queuing, called PDQ (print, don't queue). It's been unmaintained for
quite a few years, but is probably still practical. Because it has an
interface to Foomatic, it supports all printers that work under CUPS or
LPRng. (It still runs a daemon process but it's a small, simple one.)
