Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS)

Overview

The Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) was created by Easy Software Products in 1998 as a modern
replacement for the Berkeley Line Printer Daemon (LPD) and AT&T Line Printer (LP) system designed in
the 1970's for printing text to line printers.

Currently available for downloading from a number of sources on the Internet, such as

www.cups.org

CUPS is offered in both source code and binary distributions.
