CUPS Local Services (cups-local)

Note: This project is intended to be paired with the "libcups" and "cups-sharing" projects. Right now all of this code should be considered alpha-quality for testing purposes only!

The CUPS Local Services provide the general printing commands and a local, per- user spooler that handles conversion of print files and communications with IPP printers. This project is part of OpenPrinting's CUPS 3.0 development, which will provide a 100% driverless printing system for Unix®-like operating systems.
