Foomatic is a database-driven system for using free software printer drivers with all known free software spoolers on Unix and Mac OS X.

LinuxPrinting.org: Foomatic Foomatic is a database-driven system for integrating free software printer drivers with common spoolers under Unix. It supports CUPS, LPRng, LPD, GNUlpr, Solaris LP, PPR, PDQ, CPS, and direct printing with every free software printer driver known to us and every printer known to work with these drivers. Foomatic ships in whole or in part in Mandrake/Mandriva >= 7.2 (full Foomatic from 8.1 on), Red Hat >= 7.1, Conectiva >= 8.0, Debian, SuSE, Ubuntu, and probably most other distributions. Why the funny name? [edit] Using Foomatic with a particular printer and spooler

Architecture Lexmark is now featuring the Lexmark Linux Printer Driver Developer's Kit (LLPDDK) to allow the development of custom drivers for Linux. This provides Linux programmer enthusiasts a common printer driver that can be implemented with popular Linux printing subsystem such as the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) and the traditional lpr/lpd line printer spooling system. It also provides a common scanner driver that can be implemented with the Sane Access Now Easy (SANE) standard.
