<title>Configuring <application><acronym>CUPS</acronym></application></title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Configuration of <application><acronym>CUPS</acronym></application> is
|
|
dependent on the type of printer and can be complex. Generally, PostScript
|
|
printers are easier. For detailed instructions on configuration and use of
|
|
<application><acronym>CUPS</acronym></application>, see
|
|
<ulink url="http://www.cups.org/documentation.php"/>. The Software
|
|
Administrators Manual and Software Users Manual are particularly useful.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For non-PostScript printers to print with CUPS you need to install
|
|
<xref linkend="espgs"/> to convert PostScript to raster images
|
|
and a driver (e.g. from <xref linkend="gimp-print"/>) to convert
|
|
the resulting raster images to a form that the printer understands.
|
|
<ulink url="http://www.linuxprinting.org/foomatic.html">Foomatic</ulink>
|
|
drivers use Ghostscript to convert PostScript to a printable form directly, but this
|
|
is considered to be a hack by <application><acronym>CUPS</acronym></application>
|
|
developers.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>During the install, <application><acronym>CUPS</acronym></application>
|
|
created the startup file <filename>/etc/rc.d/init.d/cups</filename>. The file
|
|
works, but you may want to change it to a more conventional <acronym>LFS
|
|
</acronym> startup file by installing the script included in the
|
|
<xref linkend="intro-important-bootscripts"/> package:</para>
