Deprecation Notice
In two Core Updates time (so early in the new year) we will remove CUPS from the distribution. CUPS is the Common Unix Printing System and has been a great addition to IPFire back in the day when USB or even parallel port printers needed to be made available over the network. A real game changer in a small office. Since modern printers are now all network-enabled, there is very little use for CUPS on IPFire now. Since there have recently been a couple of security vulnerabilities and because upstream has abandoned the project, we have decided to remove it from IPFire, too. If you are using this add-on, please migrate away to a different solution. See: IPFire 2.29 - Core Update 190 released
