Description-en: HP Linux Printing and Imaging - CUPS Raster driver (hpcups)
This package contains a CUPS-Raster-based printer driver which adds support
for most inkjet printers and some LaserJet printers manufactured by HP. It
does not provide PPDs for the fax functionality of HP's multi-function
devices.
.
Users of the CUPS printing system are advised to also install the
hplip package, and use the hp CUPS backend to send data to the printer.
HPLIP supports USB and networked devices, and enables
extended hpcups functionality such as border-less printing.
Selecting any hpcups ppd in CUPS will use hpcups automatically.
.
No physical PPDs are shipped with this driver. PPDs are dynamically
generated via a CUPS DDK .drv file.
.
This package can be installed to provide a minimal headless printer
solution using CUPS.
