Debian Edu Standalone packages

The Common UNIX Printing System (or CUPS(tm)) is a printing system and general replacement for lpd and the like. It supports the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP), and has its own filtering driver model for handling various document types.

This package provides the parts of CUPS which are needed for using printer drivers.

The Common UNIX Printing System (or CUPS(tm)) is a printing system and general replacement for lpr, lpd and the like. It supports the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP), and has its own filtering driver model for handling various document types.

This package provides the BSD commands for interacting with CUPS. It is provided separately to allow CUPS to coexist with other printing systems (to a small degree).

A metapackage containing dependencies for packages required on all installations in the Debian Edu Blend.

This metapackage depends on various office and desktop applications that are useful for teachers and their students.

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 all PPD files which can be generated from the Foomatic database as one small compressed archive. This reduces the disk space consumption compared to the Foomatic XML database vastly and in addition makes listing of all available PPDs and extracting the needed PPD much faster than using the Foomatic XML database.

Protože jazyk PostScript popisuje pouze stránky, je zde potřeba mechanizmu, který by upravil postscriptovou úlohu pro konkrétní tiskové zařízení.

PPD (PostScript Printer Definition) definuje PostScriptové příkazy specifické pro zařízení, což umožňuje využít různé schopnosti tiskárny (například různou tiskovou kvalitu, zásobníky papíru, oboustranný tisk)

Balíček obsahuje soubory PPD (definice tiskárny) pro tiskárny podporované systémem "HP Linux Printing and Imaging" pomocí ovladačů HPIJS.

Tyto PPD by měli fungovat s HPLIP i HPIJS, ale nemusí obsahovat všechny aktuální verze PPD daných tiskáren. Poslední verze PPD naleznete na adrese http://www.openprinting.org/ (ne všechny musí fungovat).

The HP Linux Printing and Imaging System provides full support for printing on most HP SFP (single function peripheral) inkjets and many LaserJets, and for scanning, sending faxes and for photo-card access on most HP MFP (multi-function peripheral) printers.

This package contains utilities with graphical user interface (GUI) for HPLIP: HP Toolbox, HP Fax, ...

Note that all GUI utilities are based on the Qt GUI environment. There are currently no equivalent utilities based on GTK+.
