Introduction

CUPS is an acronym which stands for Common Unix Printing System. It is assumed that the reader has properly installed the CUPS software and the Gutenprint software. This section will discuss adding a printer to CUPS that uses a Gutenprint printer driver, as well as how to modify the various settings supplied by Gutenprint. This will be a rather quick explanation, as the CUPS software is quite well documented, and it is not my intention to attempt to duplicate the CUPS documentation here.
