-F) FOOMATIC
-
-    Foomatic is a printer meta-driver that can be used with any
-    spooler (CUPS, lpd, LPRng, etc.) or even no spooler at all.  It
-    uses XML data describing printer and driver capabilities in
-    conjunction with Ghostscript to allow printing in any environment.
-    Please visit http://www.openprinting.org/foomatic.html for more
-    information.
-
-    We normally recommend using the native CUPS driver described above
-    if your system uses CUPS as its spooler.  However, some systems
-    (many releases of Fedora Core, for example) use Foomatic as the
-    repository for all printer information; the tools provided on
-    those systems will not recognize the CUPS PPD files.  If your
-    system uses Foomatic in this way, or does not use CUPS, you should
-    use Foomatic to manage your printers.  If you are using CUPS,
-    however, we strongly recommend using the CUPS driver described in
-    the previous section in preference to Foomatic.
-
-    The Gutenprint driver for Foomatic requires Foomatic 2.0 or
-    higher; Foomatic 3.0 or above is highly recommended.  It also
-    requires GNU Ghostscript 6.53 or newer, AFPL Ghostscript 7.04 or
-    newer, or ESP Ghostscript 7.05 or newer for IJS support.  We
-    recommend Ghostscript 8 or above.
-
-    The Foomatic support in Gutenprint consists of a data generator
-    and an IJS-based Ghostscript driver.  It is possible to use the
-    Ghostscript driver without Foomatic, but the Gutenprint options
-    are complex and subject to change without notice.  Older printer
-    configuration tools such as apsfilter and magicfilter do not
-    provide a convenient interface to the driver's capabilities.
-    Therefore, we no longer provide documentation on direct use of the
-    Ghostscript driver without the Foomatic front end.
-
-    The Ghostscript driver in Gutenprint 5.2 is based on the IJS
-    protocol.  IJS is a protocol originally developed by
-    Hewlett-Packard to allow new drivers to be used with Ghostscript
-    without having to be compiled into Ghostscript.
-
-    Gutenprint 5.2 offers two Foomatic drivers, one supporting the
-    full range of options and the other supporting simplified options,
-    as describe above under CUPS.  The full-featured driver is named
-    "gutenprint-ijs.5.2"; the simplified driver is named
-    "gutenprint-ijs-simplified.5.2".
-
-    Gutenprint 5.2 may coexist with Gimp-Print 4.2; both drivers may
-    be installed and used (on separate printer queues, of course) on
-    the same system.
-
-    Normally, the Gutenprint configure script will automatically
-    detect the presence of Foomatic and Ghostscript on your system.
-    In some cases, you may have to install a Ghostscript development
-    package that may be named gs-devel, ghostscript-library, or the
-    like for the IJS capability.
-
-    The Foomatic driver will not allow use of PPD files created from
-    Foomatic data from a different version of Gutenprint.  This
-    ensures that the PPD files accurately match the driver in use.
-    However, there is no automatic upgrade tool provided for the
-    Foomatic driver, unlike the CUPS driver.  Therefore, all queues
-    using a Gutenprint driver must be updated manually, using either
-    tools provided by your distribution or the Foomatic tool
-    "foomatic-ppdfile".
-
-    NOTES TO PACKAGERS:
-
-    * We recommend packaging the IJS driver
-      (/usr/bin/ijsgutenprint.5.2) and its man page
-      (/usr/man/man1/ijsgutenprint.1.gz) together with the Foomatic
-      data.
-
-    * The IJS driver and the Foomatic data kit and PPD files are
-      versioned, and hence you should consider permitting multiple
-      versions to be installed concurrently.  The man page
-      (/usr/man/man1/ijsgutenprint.1.gz) is not versioned.
