About Cups

CUPS (Common UNIX Printing system) is a print system supported in Fedora Core3 that uses IPP (Internet Printing Kyoto) to manage print work and queues, but also supports "LPD" ( Line Printer Daemon) and communication protocols such as "SMB" (Server message Block) and Appsocket.

The advantages of using cups are many:

For example: 1. Use IPP to enhance the network printing function; 2. Can automatically detect network printer, 3.WEB interface setup tool; 4. Support PPD (PostScript Printer Description) printer files; 5. Support for most printers.

If you want to manage the lprng print system, you can use the graphical interface tool "prinrconf" to maintain the configuration file (/etc/printcap) In addition, the Cups drive development under Linux is governed by the GPL protocol, which means that it must be open source. That's not something developers want to do with business development software.

So the printer business driver developed under Linux must be the first to develop a lprng print system driver, and then in the development of the Cups boot program, the cups printing system with its own LPRNG drive. Of course, this boot program is also open source.
