Source: foomatic-db Section: text Priority: optional Maintainer: Chris Lawrence Build-Depends-Indep: debhelper (>> 4) Standards-Version: 3.6.2 Package: foomatic-db Architecture: all Recommends: foomatic-db-engine, foomatic-filters Suggests: foomatic-db-hpijs, foomatic-db-gimp-print, foo2zjs, cupsys Conflicts: foomatic-bin (<< 2.9) Description: FSG OpenPrinting printer support - database Foomatic is a printing system designed to make it easier to set up common printers for use with Debian (and other operating systems). It provides the "glue" between a print spooler (like CUPS or lpr) and your actual printer, by telling your computer how to process files sent to the printer. . This package contains the printer database distributed by FSG OpenPrinting for most common drivers. You will probably need the foomatic-db-engine package for this package to be useful. . The foomatic-db-hpijs package adds additional printers supported by the HPIJS printer driver backend, particularly consumer inkjet printers from Hewlett-Packard. . The foomatic-db-gimp-print package adds additional printers supported by the GIMP-Print printer driver backend, most commonly used for color photo printing on consumer inkjets. . The foo2zjs package adds backend support for a number of printers from HP and Minolta/QMS that use the Zenographics ZjStream protocol. .

If you have non-PostScript printers, the foomatic-filters-ppds and hplip-ppds packages are the ones you need; this package won't be of much help to you. . Home Page: http://www.openprinting.org/
