33 The Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) is a print spooler and
34 associated utilities. It is based on the "Internet Printing

347 Configuration of <application>Cups</application> is dependent on
348 the type of printer and can be complex. Generally, PostScript printers
349 are easier. For detailed instructions on configuration and use of
350 <application>Cups</application>, see <ulink
351 url="http://www.cups.org/documentation.php"/>. The Software
352 Administrators Manual and Software Users Manual are particularly useful.

354
355 <para>
356 For non-PostScript printers to print with
357 <application>Cups</application>, you need to install <xref linkend="gs"/>
358 to convert PostScript to raster images and a driver (e.g., from
359 <xref linkend="gutenprint"/>) to convert the resulting raster images to a
360 form that the printer understands.
361 <ulink url="http://www.linuxprinting.org/foomatic.html">Foomatic</ulink>
362 drivers use Ghostscript to convert PostScript to a printable form directly,
363 but this is considered to be a hack by <application>Cups</application>
364 developers.
