Regarding issue:
https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=31245

Could cupsdyn.pp be moved to FPC packages?
In Lazarus printer4lazarus package it is wrongly tied to widgetset instead of OS. It prevents using CUPS with QT widgetset for example. FPC's OS dependent libs are logically the right place for such a unit.

Maybe FPC already supports CUPS somehow. I did not study the issue further.

Probably, yes.

As far as I know, it does not. I don't see any evidence of it, but if you create a ticket and assign it to me, I will add it.
