IIUC the main feature of CUPS is that it lets client applications get

color/b&w, ...

This does not only apply to client applications, but also to computers
configured as CUPS clients (debian's default): You only set-up and
configure a printer on one server for a whole network. With a default
debian installation, the clients on the network will discover the
printer automatically and 'just work'. I have never used lprng so I
don't know, if it has a similar feature.
