Description: linuxprinting.org printer support - programs
Foomatic is a printing system designed to make it easier to set up
common printers for use with Debian (and other operating systems).
It provides the "glue" between a print spooler (like CUPS or lpr) and
your actual printer, by telling your computer how to process files
sent to the printer.
.
This package contains the architecture-dependent programs needed to
set up and maintain the foomatic system. You will also need one or
more database packages. The foomatic-db package includes drivers for
most common printers using Ghostscript as the print processor, as
well as some common glue code used in other filter systems.
.
foomatic-db-hpijs includes support for photo-quality printing with
Hewlett-Packard and some other consumer inkjets using the HPIJS
backend developed by HP.
.
foomatic-db-gimp-print includes support for photo-quality printing
with many consumer inkjets (including those from HP and Epson).
.
foomatic-gui provides a GNOME-based setup tool for Foomatic printer
queues using the command-line tools provided in this package.
