APPLICATION PRINT SERVICES LIBRARY

January 24, 2000

This is a preliminary version of this library; we are releasing it as a
work-in-progress, specifically to solicit feedback on the design.

Although the API is still being refined and added to, we believe the bulk of
the core functionality is now defined. Please refer to doc/api.html for the
current API specifications. We'll welcome any suggestions, ideas or qeustions
that you wish to send our way.

Functionality that is reasonably complete includes support for lpr printer
enumeration & instantiation, lpr job production & dispatch, and access
to job attributes via PPD files. The areas that we're currently concentrating
development efforts on include queue viewing & management, and printer
installation & configuration.
