Title

Printing on Linux using CUPS
|
|
Summary
|
This document describes how to easily print from a Linux system in X-Windows using the Common Unix Printing System. This document, unlike other already existing, will not explain the internal workings of the Linux print subsystem or CUPS itself, however it will show you how to efficiently print from Linux to local and remote printers.

Background
|
Printing on Linux, at least according to other HowToS, has always been quite difficult and complex. As a somewhat skilled Linux administrator and user I found that printing could be quite easy if one uses CUPS.
