CUPS
The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) was created by Easy Software Products in 1998 as a modern
replacement for the Berkeley Line Printer Daemon (LPD) and A T and T Line Printer (LP) system designed in
the 1970s for printing text to line printers.
Currently available for downloading from a number of sources on the Internet, such as www.cups.org, CUPS
is offered in both source code and binary distributions.
