This chapter describes the default SCO OpenServer print service and how to manage it using the Printer Manager and Print Job Manager. Details on enabling CUPS as the printing system are provided in the SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.7 Update Pack 2 Release and Installation Notes. CUPS documentation includes:

• Overview of the Common UNIX Printing System

• CUPS User's Manual

• CUPS Administrator's Manual

• CUPS Security Report

SCO OpenServer Update Pack 2 also provides the GIMP-Print printer drivers for use with the CUPS printing system. GIMP-Print rasterizes bit images for printers that do not have built-in rasterizers, including many of the more inexpensive USB printers on the market. GIMP-Print documentation includes:

• GIMP-Print User's Guide

• GIMP-Print, The Print Plugin for the GIMP
