-Gutenprint is a suite of printer drivers that may be used with most
-common UNIX print spooling systems, including CUPS, lpr, LPRng, or
-others. Gutenprint currently supports over 2500 printer models.
-These drivers provide high quality printing for UNIX, Linux, and
-Macintosh OS X (10.6 and above) systems. Gutenprint includes a CUPS
-driver, and an enhanced Print plug-in for GIMP that replaces the print
-plug-in packaged with the GIMP distribution.
