Chapter 4. Printing

Mac OS X offers a rich and flexible set of tools for administering and using a wide variety of printers. Unix and Linux users will find tools that are familiar, as well as a few new ones. In this chapter we will first discuss basic use of the Printer Setup Utility found in the /Applications/Utilities folder. We will then discuss the Mac OS X implementations of the printing tools most Unix and Linux users will find familiar. In particular, we will discuss the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS), GIMP-print, HP InkJet Server (HPIJS), and Samba Printing.
