This whitepaper describes the Common UNIX Printing System ("CUPS"), a portable and extensible printing system for UNIX. CUPS is being developed by Easy Software Products, a software firm located in Hollywood, Maryland that has been selling commercial software for UNIX since 1993 through more than 40 distributors serving over 80 countries worldwide. Printing within UNIX has historically been done using one of two printing systems ? the Berkeley Line Printer Daemon ("LPD") and the AT&T Line Printer system. These printing systems were designed in the 70's for printing text to line printers; vendors have since added varying levels of support for other types of printers.
