An Acronym for Common Unix Printing System.
It includes a compatible replacement for BSD-style lpr(1) and lpq(1) as well as supporting the new Internet Printing Protocol (IPP).
Printers can be administered through a web interface or the command line.
See CUPSNotes for an example of how to set up a USB printer from the command line rather than the web interface.
