Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

This package contains backends, filters, and other software that was once part of CUPS, but during the time when CUPS was developed at Apple, Apple stopped maintaining these parts as they were not needed by Mac OS. In addition it contains more filters and software developed independently of Apple, especially filters for the PDF-centric printing workflow introduced by OpenPrinting. Since CUPS 1.6.0 cups-filters is required for using printer drivers (and also driverless printing) with CUPS under Linux. This version 2.x of cups-filters is only for CUPS 2.2.2 or newer (for older CUPS versions use cups-filters version 1.x).
