Subjective but let's say maybe

> (b) it uses non-CUPS utilities, which while they still work are non-modern.

cups do provide lpr as well, so it works both with cups and lpr from base and as
for the non modern part I would have said different as cups is different from
lpr, but lpr is still working fine and wildly used (I do use both).

Never the less, the tips is still very valid, and useful in a sense that it
allows people to learn about tools lot of people have forgotten about. col(1)
for instance which is still very useful. when I see how lots of people are
reinventing col(1) all the time in sed,awk,python,etc... I think having tips
that tell them col(1) and other utilities do exist is a good idea.
