I added a section about CUPS, mostly cribbed from the pkg-descr, to the
handbook printing chapter. I'm pretty fuzzy with doc tools and such,
and therefore need a thorough review. Please have at me over the
attached diff, and thanks in advance. ;^)
I'm not on the docs@ list currently, so please keep my name in the reply
addresses.
