According to Paul Smedley's UNIX ports for OS/2 and eComStation website
http://www.smedley.info/os2ports/
CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) has been updated to 1.3.2. Also
includes Ghostscript 8.62 and Gutenprint 5.1.98.2 More information can be
found at http://svn.netlabs.org/ecups/wiki/CupsPort
The main CUPS site (non-OS/2) is http://www.cups.org/
"CUPS provides a portable printing layer for UNIX®-based operating systems.
It was developed by Easy Software Products and is now owned and maintained
by Apple Inc. to promote a standard printing solution. It is the standard
printing system in Mac OS® X and most Linux® distributions.
CUPS uses the Internet Printing Protocol ("IPP") as the basis for managing
print jobs and queues and adds network printer browsing and PostScript
Printer Description ("PPD") based printing options to support real-world
printing."

REQUIREMENTS:
Ghostscript and Gutenprint require the LIBC 0.6.3 runtime dll from
ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.3-csd3.zip
CUPS is built using a custom libc064x.dll - a copy of which can be
downloaded from http://download.smedley.info/libc064x.zip
CHANGES since the last release:
1) Updated to GPL GHostscript 8.62
2) Updated to Gutenprint 5.1.98.2 (AKA 5.2.0-beta2)
3) Recompiled CUPS using libc064x in the hope that the spawn fixes help
make cupsd more stable
There is a eCups mailing list at Netlabs which can be viewed via Gmane at
