 CUPS consists of several packages that work together to provide postscript printing on raster printers
-
-The Libc files are required support files
-
-The eCUPS printer driver is an alternative OS/2 pscript.drv package and has most of the popular CUPS PPD (simplified) files already included
-
-The eCuPS printer port provides the "hook up" between the OS/2 Printer Object created from the eCUPS printer driver and the CUPS printer
-
-PRNDRV.EXE - a useful command line utility for listing installed printers and deleting those that are not wanted
+  (CUPS, Ghostscript, Gutenprint, eCUPS, Cups.pdr and Splix(for Xerox printers only)). All of these packages should be expanded under 
+   the root directory of a drive (doesn't have to be the boot drive) 
+   - so once expanded you will have the following directories off the root directory:
+   CUPS
+   GUTENPRINT
+   GS\GSN.nn  (where N.nn is the Ghostscript version number e.g. 8.64) - note you may need to create the \GS directory depending upon 
+                                                                         the contents of the GS zip file you download.
+   
+The Libc files are required support files put these in a directory in the libpath - e.g. ecs\dll or os2\dll 
+
+The eCUPS printer driver is an alternative OS/2 pscript.drv package and has most of the popular CUPS PPD files already included. (This file should be put into a directory under \OS2\DLL - my suggestion is \OS2\DLL\CUPS - you will then point the printer install dialog at this directory during the install process)

+The eCUPS printer port provides the "hook up" between the OS/2 Printer Object created from the eCUPS printer driver and the CUPS printer
