<title>Introduction</title>
<para>This handbook describes &kdeprint;. &kdeprint; is not a standalone
program. It is the new printing framework for &kde; 2.2. &kdeprint;
is an intermediate layer between &kde; (or other) applications and the selected
(and installed) print subsystem of your OS (&OS;).</para>
<para>It should be noted that both the developer of this application,
and the author of this document are most familiar with &CUPS; as a
printing system. At the time of writing, &CUPS; is the best supported
printing subsystem, and it is the best documented.</para>
<para>This handbook is a work in progress, and later versions of the
&kdeprint; software and editions of this handbook will support and
explore more closely other printing systems.</para>
<para>In the meantime, even if your printing subsystem is not yet well
covered, you are encouraged to explore the <guilabel>Printing
Manager</guilabel> module in &kcontrol;, and you will find its
operation to hopefully be fairly self evident, no matter what printing
subsystem you use.</para>
