It is in addition a suite of drivers that may be used with common UNIX spooling systems using GhostScript or CUPS. These drivers provide printing quality for UNIX/Linux on a par with proprietary vendor-supplied drivers in many cases, and can be used for many of the most demanding printing tasks. The core of GIMP-Print is a shared library (libgimpprint) which may be used by any program that wishes to produce high-qulaity printed output. <P><HR><P> Go to the <A HREF="gimpprint_1.html">first</A>, <A HREF="gimpprint_2.html">previous</A>, <A HREF="gimpprint_4.html">next</A>, <A HREF="gimpprint_47.html">last</A> section, <A HREF="gimpprint_toc.html">table of contents</A>. </BODY> </HTML>
