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 and ESP Ghostscript (Updated 28th December, 08)
• eCUPS HowTo by Pete Brown
