Misc | CUPS 1.4.1

CUPS provides a portable printing layer for UNIX®-based operating systems. It was developed by Easy Software Products and is now owned and maintained by Apple Inc. to promote a standard printing solution. It is the standard printing system in Mac OS X and most Linux distributions.

CUPS uses the Internet Printing Protocol ("IPP") as the basis for managing print jobs and queues and adds network printer browsing and PostScript Printer Description ("PPD") based printing options to support real-world printing.

New in this version:
The new release fixes several reported printing, web interface, PPD compiler, and CUPS API bugs. Changes include:
