Printing with CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System)
PPDs for our MFP/LPs have been posted on www.LinuxPrinting.org since 22
nd
February 2005. By
distributing PPDs on www.LinuxPrinting.org, we will be able to capture customers who purchase
MFPs/LPs in a UNIX/Linux printing environment.
What is CUPS?
CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) has become a popular printing system in the Linux
environment. CUPS covers both the Berkeley commands and System V commands, which means
that all UNIX users can use it. CUPS provides an effective and reliable printing system, and
supports:
IPP(Internet Printing Protocol) native, which supports authentication, access control and
encryption
lpd, SMB (supports printers connected to Windows networks)
Browsing network connected printers
PPD (PostScript Printer Description) can be implemented in CUPS, which enables users
to use printers’ unique features and device options.
This means that UNIX/Linux users can easily use printers in the same way that they use Windows
OS.
What is www.LinuxPrinting.org?
www.LinuxPrinting.org is an official site to support and help with printing under opensource free
operating systems like GNU/Linux and BSDs, or under commercial UNIX-like systems such as
Solaris and OS X.
For supporting unique features and device options of each printer, CUPS needs each PPD of
printer vendors. Most Linux distribution package vendors use this site to obtain printers’ PPDs to
bundle them into their distribution package. Posting the PPDs on the site will help to promote the
use of our MFPs by UNIX/Linux users.
Note that the PPDs are posted as free software under MIT licence and are therefore not subject to
official support from Ricoh.
