+README for cups 1.1.x
+
+REQUIREMENTS
+
+1. This version of cups no longer includes a postscript interpreter. Install
+ the ghostscript port additionally.
+2. In order to have more printer drivers available, the installation of the
+ gimp-print port is recommended. HP DeskJet/LaserJet users should install
+ the hpijs driver.
+3. Build and install in the following order:
+ - cups
+ - gimp-print (optionally)
+ - ghostscript
+ - foomatic-filters (optionally)
+ - hpijs (optionally)
+
+Most common printers should be supported by the above configuration, if
+NOT you must have foomatic-filters installed and must generate a PPD file
+(Postscript Printer Description) for your printer:
+
+1. Select your printer from http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi
+2. Select a driver, be shure the driver is available within ghostscript.
+ You can see all drivers included in ghostscript with a 'gs -h'.
+3. Download the PPD file for your printer.
+4. Save the PPD file to /usr/share/cups/model/<name>.
+5. Restart cups with '/etc/rc.d/cups restart'
+
+
+PRE-INSTALL
+
+1. Remove a installed lprng package.
+ Cups and lprng cannot be installed together.
+
+POST-INSTALL
+
+1. Configure your printer with the web-interface, http://localhost:631.
