I'm using Red Hat 7.3 and KDE with a Epson C80 printer
When I print I get a gui window on the screen and one of the sections called print systems asks me if I want to use one of the following;
CUPS Print through an external program (generic) Generic UNIX LPD print system (default) LPR/LPRng Print System RLPR environment (Remote LPD server)
CUPS is the new Common Unix Printing System. It's quite good.
It's at www.cups.org.
What are all these things?
Printing methods.
Is there a preferred one?
If you're just printing locally, prolly any one will do.
Where can I read up on "Linux Print Systems"?
How about at the Linux Documentation Project?
