Chapter 14. Printing with CUPS

A printing system handles the tasks involved in getting a print job from an application (or the command line) through the appropriate filters (page 971) into a queue for a suitable printer and getting it printed. While handling a job, a printing system can keep track of billing information so that the proper accounts can be charged for printer use. When a printer fails, the printing system can redirect jobs bound for that printer to other, similar printers.
