[PLUG] Print Server

[D. Cooper Stevenson]

> What models of printers do you have working with CUPS?  

There are three drivers, or "modules" included free with CUPS: a generic printer, an HP Laserjet, and an Epson. 

Does it still use ghostscript on the back end? 

Check this out (with CUPS):

lp -Pmyprinter document.ps

It automatically detects it as a Postscript document, "plugs in" the correct filter, and prints it correctly! It works!

Yep.
