Description-en: OpenPrinting printer support - filters
Foomatic is a printer database designed to make it easier to set up
common printers for use with UNIX-like 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 filters 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.
.
For use with CUPS, you will need both the cups and cups-client
packages installed on your system.
