    34 
    3543[http://www.cups.org CUPS] - This is the base CUPS package.  The latest stable release is V1.4.8: [https://dl.dropbox.com/u/76425158/cups-1.4.8-os2-20121221.zip]. Note that for USB printing this release requires you to have LIBUSB10.DLL on your system; you can get this file from [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/76425158/libusb-1.0.16-rc6-20130525.zip].
    3644
    3745[http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost Ghostscript] - The latest OS/2 binary should always be available from [http://www.smedley.info/os2ports/index.php?page=ghostscript].  However, the most stable version at the moment appears to be the slightly older version 8.71: [http://download.smedley.info/ghostscript-8.71-os2-20100302.zip] plus a post-release [http://download.smedley.info/gsdll2.zip update] - this version is currently recommended for use with CUPS).
