+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.
