= Welcome to eCups =

This project is intended to create a seamless integration of [http://www.cups.org CUPS] into eComStation.

It consists of a the following components:

 * [wiki:PortDriver Port driver] (PDR) which allows printing to a CUPS server.
 * [wiki:eCupsScript Postscript printer] driver replacement (PSCRIPT.DRV) to overcome the shortcomings of the current implementation (Binary added 11th July, 2008)
 * [wiki:gutenprt 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 [wiki:HowTo] by Pete Brown
