Our libAPS (Application Printing Services) is designed to work with 
both CUPS and standard lpr/lprng.  It abstracts the back-end printing
system from the app (be it a printer admin app, like KUPS, or an 
application level print dialog).  Right now, interfacing with CUPS is
done via the lpr transport, but we have a partially completed CUPS
transport that could be further extended to provide CUPS specific 
functionality.  

We've already done a ton of work on the admin/setup app side that's being
released in Corel Linux 1.1 in a few days.  Of course, that work is 
still KDE 1.1 based, and will have to be ported to  KDE 2.0.  

We're also using libAPS in WINE to implement the Windows print spooling 
APIs, print dialogs, etc.
