pkgsrc/print/foomatic4-filters/DESCR
drochner 16b3cce935 add foomatic-filters-4.0.3 which is basically foomatic-rip, a printer
filter
This mostly duplicates pkgsrc/print/foomatic-filters but since there
are likely compatibility problems wich different generations of
foomatic-rip and PPDs I'll leave the old version intact.

The foomatic-filters package provides foomatic-rip and foomatic-gswrapper.
foomatic-rip uses an external renderer (like GhostScript) to translate
PostScript to printer's native language. The printer capabilities are
described in PPD files. foomatic-rip works with every known spooler.
foomatic-gswrapper massages arguments to make Ghostscript execute
properly as a filter.
