Introduction
CUPS (formerly an acronym for Common UNIX Printing System) is a modular printing system for Unix-like computer operating systems which allows a computer to act as a print server. A computer running CUPS is a host that can accept print jobs from client computers, process them, and send them to the appropriate printer.
The printing system used in Debian involves complex interactions between many packages. It includes a scheduler (cupsd), a filtering system, and a large array of packages. The system appears to work well, and using a wide variety of local and networked printers is generally effortless. The Openprinting printer database lists many printers and their compatibility with Linux-based systems.
CUPS is the default printing system for Debian but the Berkeley LPR software is also in the archives as lprng. It cannot co-exist with cups on the same system.
