     6:p.The eCups Printer Wizard is a simple graphical front-end for creating CUPS-based
    77printers.

     29not be able to print in this mode.  (This particularly applies to QT-based
     30programs.)
    3031:li.The remote CUPS server must not have password authentication enabled.
    3132:eul.
    … …  
    3738:p.This section provides a brief explanation of how the eCups printing system
    3839works.
    39 :p.With standard (non-CUPS) printing, the printer configuration has three
    40 major parts&colon.
    41 :ul compact.
     40:p.CUPS (the Common Unix Printing System) is essentially a self-contained
     41print subsystem, which includes its own print spooler plus a collection of
     42plugin-like printer drivers.  The CUPS :hp1.server:ehp1. runs on the system
     43as a background process and manages all CUPS-based printers and jobs.
     44:p.In principle, CUPS itself operates independently of the standard desktop
     45printer system.  Applications which are &osq.CUPS-aware&csq.
     46can print directly to CUPS, bypassing any desktop printer objects entirely.
     47:p.However, most applications are not specifically written to use CUPS, which
     48means they must still submit print jobs through a standard desktop printer
     49object and queue.  With eCups, these jobs are then forwarded on to the CUPS
     50server, which controls the actual print processing.
     51:nt.&osq.eCups&csq.is the term used to describe the entire framework by which
     52the OS/2 printing system is linked together with the cross-platform CUPS
     53components, in order to provide seamless CUPS-based printing for all
     54applications.:ent.
     55:p.:hp2.Legacy Printing Logic:ehp2.
     56:p.With standard (non-CUPS or &osq.legacy&csq.) printing, the printer
     57configuration has three major parts&colon.
     58:ul.
    4259:li.The desktop printer object, which corresponds to a &osq.print queue&csq.

    … …  
    4764job data to the printer, across the appropriate (physical or network) connection.
    4865:eul.
    49 :p.With eCups, a number of additional components are added by way of the CUPS
    50 server, which runs on the system as a background process and manages all
    51 CUPS-based printers and jobs.
    52 :p.In principle, CUPS itself operates independently of the standard desktop
    53 printer system.  Applications which are &osq.CUPS-aware&csq. can print
    54 directly to CUPS, bypassing any desktop printer objects entirely.
    55 :p.However, most applications are not specifically written to use CUPS, which
    56 means they must still submit print jobs through a standard desktop printer
    57 object and queue.
     66:p.
     67:p.:hp2.eCups Printing Logic:ehp2.
     68:p.An eCups printer configuration includes these components&colon.
     69:ul.
     70:li.The desktop printer object, which corresponds to a &osq.print queue&csq.
     71controlled by the Presentation Manager spooler.
     72:li.The presentation driver, which converts print data from an application
     73into a PostScript file which may (optionally) contain printer-specific job
     74properties.
     75:li.The eCups port driver, which is responsible for transmitting the
     76PostScript job file to the CUPS server.
     77:li.The CUPS server itself, which manages a separate CUPS printer definition
     78and queue for the printer in question.  The CUPS server takes the incoming
     79PostScript file, validates it, and applies any additional job properties
     80that are defined by the CUPS printer definition.
     81:li.The CUPS printer driver, which converts the validated PostScript data
     82into printer-specific format.  CUPS printer drivers are typically distributed
     83as omnibus driver packages from various sources (both commercial and
     84community-based); popular packages include Gutenprint, SpliX and HP-LIP.
     85:li.The CUPS &osq.backend&csq. (analogous to a port driver) which is
     86responsible for transmitting the converted print job data to the printer,
     87across the appropriate (physical or network) connection.
     88:eul.
     89:p.The eCups Printer Wizard is designed to automate the configuration of all
     90of these components according to your selections.
     91:p.As you can see, eCups printing is more complex than standard (legacy)
     92printing.  A common cause for confusion is the fact that every eCups
     93printer is essentially defined twice&colon. once as a desktop printer
     94object, and once as a CUPS printer within the CUPS server.
     95:p.This dual configuration makes the setting of print job properties somewhat
     96complicated.  Some points to be aware of&colon.
     97:ul.
     98:li.A normal (non-CUPS-aware) application is only capable of setting
     99job properties that are known to the desktop printer object.
     100:li.A CUPS-aware application, conversely, will only use the CUPS printer
     101definition to determine the job properties.
     102:li.Every CUPS printer has default job properties associated with it, as
     103defined within CUPS (using the browser-based CUPS administration GUI).
     104:li.However, you can also configure a printer's default job properties in
     105the desktop printer object.  Job properties defined in this way will only
     106apply to non-CUPS-aware applications.
     107:eul.
     108:p.Any job property which is not defined through the desktop printer object
     109will be taken from the CUPS printer definition.  This provides one notable
     110advantage&colon. it is thus possible to use a generic PostScript driver for
     111the desktop printer object, and still take advantage of printer-specific
     112features so long as the CUPS printer definition is aware of them.  (The
     113trade-off is that non-CUPS-aware applications would then be unable to set
     114printer-specific properties for a particular job at print time.)
     115:p.For more detailed information regarding these and related topics, refer to
     116the eCups FAQ at&colon. http&colon.//svn.netlabs.org/ecups/wiki/CupsFaq
