GtkLP is a graphical frontend for CUPS, the Common UNIX Printing System.
It is used to have an easy (and graphical) access to all of the many
options of cups-managed printers.

LSS is a symbol browser to help creating LaTeX documents with many math
symbols.
All symbols are grouped into categories and user can copy symbol name to
system-wide clipboard (or insert it directly to first running copy of
gVIM) by selecting symbol icon from list.
CUPS configuration GUI. Configures a CUPS server. It uses the CUPS API
to do this. The communication with the server is performed using IPP. As
a result, it is equally able to configure a remote CUPS server as a
local one.

PDFjam is a small collection of shell scripts which provide a simple

This port contains 3 subpackages:
* hplip
HPLIP is an HP developed solution for printing, scanning, and faxing
with HP inkjet and laser based printers in Unix.
The HPLIP project provides printing support for 1,248 printer models,
including Deskjet, Officejet, Photosmart, PSC (Print Scan Copy),
Business Inkjet, LaserJet, Edgeline MFP, and LaserJet MFP.
* hpijs (supersed print/hpijs)
The Hewlett-Packard Co. Linux Inkjet Driver Project is an add-on to the
GNU Ghostscript application. This driver is based on the Hewlett Packard
Appliance APDK for deskjet printers.
* hplip-docs
Documentation for HPLIP in HTML format.

Gutenprint, formerly known as gimp-print, is a project to provide high
quality drivers for Canon, Epson, Lexmark and PCL printers.
This package contains the driver libraries which are the basis of the
gutenprint project, and which can be used by other printing programs. It
may be used with most common UNIX print spooling systems, including
CUPS, lpr, LPRng, or others.
There are 3 subpackages:
* foomatic-db-gutenprint -> Foomatic data for gutenprint drivers
* gutenprint-cups -> gutenprint CUPS driver
* gutenprint-gimp -> Gimp print plug-in
Note: the direct CUPS drivers won't work as they need pstoraster which
will be included with the next ghostscript update; you will still be
able to print with CUPS using foomatic (which most of the time is the
recommended way anyway).
Hopefully, more people will test this now that it's in.

foo2zjs is an open source printer driver for printers that use the
Zenographics ZjStream wire protocol for their print data, such as the
Minolta/QMS magicolor 2300 DL or Konica Minolta magicolor 2430 DL.
These printers are often erroneously referred to as winprinters or GDI
printers.
However, Microsoft GDI only mandates the API between an application and
the printer driver, not the protocol on the wire between the printer
driver and the printer.
In fact, ZjStream printers are raster printers which happen to use a
very efficient wire protocol which was developed by Zenographics and
licensed by most major printer manufacturers for at least some of their
product lines.

Foomatic's XML database. It also contains scripts to directly generate
