Configuration of CUPS is dependent on the type of printer and can be complex. Generally, PostScript printers are easier. For detailed instructions on configuration and use of CUPS, see . The Software Administrators Manual and Software Users Manual are particularly useful. For non-PostScript printers to print with CUPS you need to install to convert PostScript to raster images and a driver (e.g., from ) to convert the resulting raster images to a form that the printer understands. Foomatic drivers use Ghostscript to convert PostScript to a printable form directly, but this is considered to be a hack by CUPS developers. During the install, CUPS created the startup file /etc/rc.d/init.d/cups. The file works, but you may want to change it to a more conventional LFS startup file by installing the script included in the package: make install-cups
