Welcome to eCups

This project is intended to create a seamless integration of CUPS into eComStation.

It consists of a the following components:

  • Port driver (PDR) which allows printing to a CUPS server.
  • Postscript printer driver replacement (PSCRIPT.DRV) to overcome the shortcomings of the current implementation (Binary added 11th July, 2008)
  • eCUPS driver that includes many Gutenprint and Splix PPD files preimported into a postscript driver (ecups.drv) to aid ease of use (Updated and renamed 28th December, 2008)
  • Printer install tool, detect printers on the CUPS server and allow to create them automatically in your OS/2 system
  • The CupsPort from Paul Smedley also contains Gutenprint, HPLIP and Ghostscript (Updated 12th August, 10)
  • eCUPS HowTo by Pete Brown
