CUPS Purchase Makes Sense for Apple

Submitted by Seth Weintraub on Fri, 07/13/2007 - 12:40.

News was released this week that the Open Source printing system that  
most UNIX, Linux and of course Macintosh systems use for printing was  
purchased by Apple. The CUPS system was developed as a successor to  
LPD in 1997 by Matthew Sweet . It has gained much of the printing  
marketshare since that point and many printer vendors include CUPS  
drivers with their printers out of the box.
Along the the CUPS purchase, Apple has hired Sweet to continue to  
develop the product and market it.
