4Make sure cupsport.exe is either in the current directory or in the PATH.

6Usage: cupswiz <path-to-cups>
7(e.g. "cupswiz f:\cups")

9<path-to-cups> can be omitted if cupswiz.exe is on the same drive as CUPS.

11Requirements:
12 - CUPS, including ECUPS.DRV and CUPS.PDR, must be installed and working.
13 The CUPS daemon must be running.
14 - CUPS.PDR should have a bldlevel of 1.03 (February 2011) or later. If
15 not, the created WPS printer object will not work properly until the
16 WPS is restarted.
17 - GNU gzip.exe must be installed (somewhere on the PATH).
18 - RINSTPRN.EXE (included with OS/2 MCP/ACP & eComStation, not sure about
19 earlier verions) must also be somewhere on the PATH.
20 - VROBJ.DLL (included in eComStation or available on Hobbes) is required.
21
22Current limitations:
23 - The CUPS printer is always created with default job options.
24 - Currently only ECUPS.DRV is supported (not ECUPS-HP.DRV).
25 - The GUI is still somewhat unpolished. All printer models are currently
26 displayed in one massive list (not broken down by manufacturer yet).
27 - If your %TMP% directory has spaces in the pathname, the program will
28 almost certainly fail to work properly. The same applies to your
29 %LOGFILES% directory.
30 - No internationalization support (yet).
31 - No help or documentation.
32 - Probably still has bugs due to my limited testing capabilities.
