Write it up and submit it for the handbook. > > Greg > -- <desc> CUPS: The Common UNIX Printing System ("CUPS") is a cross-platform printing solution for all UNIX environments. It is based on the "Internet Printing Protocol" and provides complete printing services to most PostScript and raster printers. CUPS is provided under the GNU GPL. You can install cups using ports or packages. For ports you change directory to /usr/ports/print/cups and type "make all install clean". Once that is done you can start the cups daemon by typing "/usr/local/sbin/cupsd". For futher information regarding configuration of cups, or anything else regarding cups please point your browser to http://www.cups.org </desc> You may edit it in any way you see fit. I release this few lines at the same license the FreeBSD handbook is using, or as public domain - whatever you see fit. Best regards Michael Boman PS The first paragraph is stolen from www.cups.org =( An alternative to that paragraph can be this (stolen from CUPS port description in FreeBSD): <desc> CUPS provides a portable printing layer for UNIX-based operating systems. It has been developed by Easy Software Products to promote a standard printing solution for all UNIX vendors and users. CUPS provides the System V and Berkeley command-line interfaces. 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 also includes 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. Sample drivers for HP and EPSON printers are included that use these filters. - - George Reid greid@ukug.uk.freebsd.org </desc> DS PPS Yeah, I've stole allot of text here, but gimme a break. It's early in the morning and I haven't had my coffe yet ;) DDS -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 7.0.4 iQA/AwUBO0u3WmrXqu72qtzYEQIWpQCaA5JfWBe3UkKsOntwdvarWkS6j14An3AM hfDl/4HZJ1Tg3MZenZjL3plg =6YkX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
