It has been developed by Easy Software Products to promote a +standard printing solution for all UNIX vendors and users. + +CUPS uses the Internet Printing Protocol ("IPP") as the basis for +managing print jobs and queues. The Line Printer Daemon ("LPD") Server +Message Block ("SMB"), and AppSocket (a.k.a. JetDirect) protocols are +also supported with reduced functionality. CUPS adds network printer +browsing and PostScript Printer Description ("PPD") based printing +options to support real-world printing under UNIX. + +CUPS provides the System V and Berkeley command-line interfaces. These are +available in the cups-lpr port. + +CUPS also supports a customized version of GNU Ghostscript (currently based +off GNU Ghostscript 5.50) and an image file RIP that are used to support +non-PostScript printers.
