However, now that CUPS is pretty much standardised on mostly
everything - including, it appears, on an increasing number of *BSD
systems - is psprint still required for systems that are sticking with
lpr?

My understanding (and I may pretty much be wrong, the code is convoluted
to death) is that most of psprint deals with printing using PostScript
and when printing with PDF most of it is skipped. PDF printing is the
default and not even easy to change in recent versions, but that looks
like a bug. I believe we can kill PostScript printing and most of
psprint with it and nothing of value will be lost.
