      <title>Configuration Information</title>

      <para>
        Normally, printers are set up via a web browser.  The
        <application>Cups</application> server will normally connect via
        the url http://localhost:631.  From there printers, print
        jobs, and the server configuration can be set up and managed.
        Remote system administration can also be set up.  Configuration
        can also be done from the command line via the
        <command>lpadmin</command>, <command>lpoptions</command>,
        and <command>lpstat</command> commands.
      </para>

      <para>
        Configuration of <application>Cups</application> is dependent on
        the type of printer and can be complex. Generally, PostScript printers
        are easier. For detailed instructions on configuration and use of
        <application>Cups</application>, see <ulink
        url="https://www.cups.org/documentation.html"/>.
      </para>

      <para>
        For non-PostScript printers to print with
        <application>Cups</application>, you need to install <xref
        linkend="gs"/> to convert PostScript to raster images and a driver
        (e.g. from <xref linkend="gutenprint"/>) to convert the resulting
        raster images to a form that the printer understands.  <ulink
        url="https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/openprinting/database/foomatic">Foomatic</ulink>
        drivers use <xref linkend="gs"/> to convert PostScript to a printable
        form directly, but this is considered suboptimal by
        <application>Cups</application> developers.
