-<para>This chapter of the &tdeprint; Handbook will walk you through most
-of the configuration or selection options of &tdeprint;. It will mainly
-deal with &CUPS; in this version, as the author is most familiar with
-it, and also because &tdeprint; started off with supporting &CUPS;
-best. Later versions of the &tdeprint; software and editions of this
-handbook will support and explore other printing
-systems more closely.</para>

-<title>Selecting Your Print Subsystem</title>

-<para>You need to define your print subsystem, before you are able to
-install any printer with the &tdeprint; framework. There are two areas

-want to use. In &kde; 2.2 you can choose from the following

-3.3 Selection: &CUPS; or other?
-
-If your selection of the print system is &CUPS;, you will have more
-choices at your fingertips than with any other printing
-system. &CUPS; is new to most Linux users (even the senior
-hackers amongst us), and it is quite easy to use. But it
-is at the same time very different from other printing systems.
-Therfor the &CUPS; part in the &tdeprint; Handbook is naturally
-the most detailed.
-
-Future editions of the &tdeprint; handbook will describe in
-more detail the other systems.
