10.1. Printers
Various printing systems can be used with the thin client.
10.1.1. CUPS - Common UNIX Printing System
The Common UNIX Printing System
TM
(or CUPS) is the software which allows you to print from within

CUPS converts the page descriptions produced by the application, e.g. "Insert Paragraph", "Draw Line" etc.,
into data which can be read by the printer, and then sends this information to the printer.
With the appropriate configuration, CUPS can use printing devices via the following connections:

• USB (1st and 2nd USB printer)
• Network (TCP/IP, LPD, IPP)
