Description-en: OpenPrinting printer support - programs
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 architecture-dependent programs needed to
set up and maintain the foomatic system. You will also need one or
more database packages. The foomatic-db package includes drivers for
most common printers using Ghostscript as the print processor, as
well as some common glue code used in other filter systems.
