Package: foomatic-filters (4.0-20090311-1) [debports]

OpenPrinting printer support - filters

Foomatic is a printer database designed to make it easier to set up common printers for use with UNIX-like other operating systems. It provides the "glue" between a print spooler (like CUPS or lpr) and the printer, by processing files sent to the printer.

This package consists of filter scripts used by the printer spoolers to convert the incoming PostScript data into the printer's native format using a printer-specific, but spooler-independent PPD file. You will need to install the foomatic-db-engine package and its dependencies for this package to be useful.

For use with CUPS, you will need both the cupsys and cupsys-client packages installed on your system.
