#language en ~-[[DebianWiki/EditorGuide#translation|Translation(s)]]: none-~ ---- Links to up-to-date information about the Debian printing system and available printing resources. <> <> == Introduction == [[http://www.cups.org|CUPS]] is a printing system intended as a replacement for the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_printing_system|Berkeley]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_V_printing_system|System V]] printing systems. It was created by Easy Software Products (ESP) but today is owned, developed and maintained by [[http://www.apple.com|Apple Inc]], with the original owner of ESP, Michael R. Sweet, being Senior Printing System Engineer. In the days of ESP ownership CUPS was officially known as the Common UNIX Printing System. The [[CUPS]] printing system used in Debian involves complex interactions between the programs contained in many packages. The scheduler, [[DebianPkg:cups-daemon|cupsd]], is at the heart of the system, but support from a [[DebianPkg:cups-filters|filtering system]], and a large array of packages is necessary for successful, effortless printing on a wide variety of printers. Having said that, the system appears to work well and there is little sign that Debian users have any great difficulty in setting up local or networked printers and getting them to function correctly. This page is intended to help maintain that situation. CUPS is the default printing system for Debian but the Berkeley LPR software is also in the archives as [[DebianPkg:lprng|lprng]]. It cannot co-exist with cups on the same system. <> == Administering and Using CUPS == * [[SystemPrinting|An overview of the CUPS printing system]] * [[QuickPrintQueuesCUPS|Printer and print queue installation on Debian 10 (buster)]] * [[PrintQueuesCUPS|A detailed look at print queue creation and administration]] * [[DissectingandDebuggingtheCUPSPrintingSystem|Dissecting and debugging the CUPS printing system]] * [[ThecupsfilterUtility|The cupsfilter utility]] * [[pdftopdfandPageRotation|The pdftopdf filter and page rotation]] * [[ThetexttopdfFilter|The texttopdf filter]] * [[Tea4CUPS|The Tea4CUPS backend]] * [[DriverlessPrinting|Driverless printing]] * [[AirPrint|AirPrint]] * [[IPPEverywhere|IPP Everywhere]] * [[GoogleCloudPrint|Google Cloud Print]] * [[Canon]] printers * [[PrintingGlossaryandIndex|A glossary and index for wiki printing topics]] <> == Resources == * [[http://www.cups.org/documentation.php|CUPS documentation]] * [[http://localhost:631|CUPS documentation (local machine)]] * [[https://bugs.debian.org/cups|CUPS bugs in Debian]] * [[http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/printing-architecture/|Printing-architecture mailing list archives]] * [[http://www.openprinting.org/printers|Openprinting printer database]] * [[https://cups.org/lists.php?LIST=cups|CUPS user mailing list]] * [[https://cups.org/lists.php?LIST=cups-devel|CUPS development mailing list]] * [[https://github.com/apple/cups/issues|CUPS issues tracker]] * [[https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/issues|cups-filters issues tracker]]
