Description: OpenPrinting printer support - database
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 the printer database distributed by
OpenPrinting for most common drivers. You will probably need
the foomatic-db-engine package for this package to be useful.
