It is developed and maintained by Easy Software Products to promote a standard printing solution. CUPS is the standard printing system used on MacOS® X and most Linux® distributions. CUPS uses the Internet Printing Protocol ("IPP") as the basis for managing print jobs and queues and adds network printer browsing and PostScript Printer Description ("PPD") based printing options to support real-world printing. ## For Printer Drivers and Assistance Visit the official CUPS site for printer drivers and assistance:
