# qtcups(1)

## NAME

**qtcups** is a interface and development library for CUPS. It is composed of **libqtcups** library with include files which allows Qt applications to print to CUPS and the front-end **QtCups**.

## SYNOPSIS

**qtcups** \[ \[ *options* \] *file* \]\

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **qtcups** command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**QtCups** is a front-end for *The Common Unix Printing System* (*CUPS*(tm)). It is designed to behave like standard print front-ends like **lpr** or **lp**. It can be used to print a file  **qtcups** \<*filename*\> and popup a nice configuration dialog.

**NOTE:** QtCups is **not** CUPS configurator. You, as a user, can not change your default print server with QtCups permanently, but you can do it for given session only (QtCups does not read and save to  */etc/cups/client.conf*).

The terms Common Unix Printing System or CUPS are trademarks of Easy Software Products (www.easysw.com).
