Printer Configuration and Management Changes

The legacy LP print service has been replaced by the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS). CUPS is a modular, open-source printing system that uses the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) as the basis for managing printers, print requests, and print queues. CUPS supports network printer browsing and PostScript Printer Description-based printing options. CUPS also provides a common printing interface across a local network.
