Apple buys cups
The simple answer to this is that the current Mac OS X printing subsystem is CUPS, and a fairly vanilla version at that. Apple basically have just bought the rights to the solution they already use in house.
Most of the Unix stuff in Mac OS X is the same stuff you use on Linux, it just has a pretty front end to make things easy (much like, for example, KDE implements a pretty front end to CUPS).
