We have a customer wanting to use CUPS on a 5210R server.

<p>Do you mean CUPS like the print server? Seems like an
interesting request. We once, LONG AGO, did something like this
for a customer to be able to generate/print files on the fly from
their DEC Alpha server hosted in our facility so that the output
could be viewed at their office on the other side of the country.
We used a BlueQuartz machine at the time to do this which was
dedicated to that customer. All of that hardware has been long
since retired. <br>

<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap">You should be able to add CUPS via yum or dnf. Keep in mind that this is going to open up additional services (pronounced "security targets") on your server, so if it's shared with other customers that's a potential risk to them. If you've got things well secured and are comfortable with the risks, maybe it's no problem. If it's a truly custom / one-off solution for the customer, you might consider them on a dedicated instance. Food for thought.
