OpenPrinting printer support - database

Foomatic is a printing system designed to make it easier to set up common printers for use with Debian (and other operating systems). It provides the "glue" between a print spooler (like CUPS or lpr) and your actual printer, by telling your computer how to process files sent to the printer.

This package contains the printer database distributed by OpenPrinting for most common drivers. You will probably need the foomatic-db-engine package for this package to be useful.

The foomatic-db-hpijs package adds additional printers supported by the HPIJS printer driver backend, particularly consumer inkjet printers from Hewlett-Packard.

The foomatic-db-gutenprint package adds additional printers supported by the Gutenprint printer driver backend, most commonly used for color photo printing on consumer inkjets.

The foo2zjs package adds backend support for a number of printers from HP and Minolta/QMS that use the Zenographics ZjStream protocol.
