If you use Solaris10 as an print server lp could be used.
The transfer method uucp (unic to unix copy) is an old method for
transfering files but not used in modern enviroments. The Accounts uucp
and nuucp is
for using an extra account for this transfer methode.
In the most systems the user www or wwwrun are used for the Webserver -
for instance apache.
If there is no webserver running - the account can be deleted.
