-
Mac OS X printing is based on the Common UNIX
Printing System (CUPS).
-
The primary utilities for configuring printing
are Print & Fax preferences for configuring the print and fax
services, and Printer Setup Utility for adding and deleting
printers and managing print queues.
-
You can share locally connected printers over a
network by turning on Printer Sharing in the Services pane of
Sharing preferences or in Print & Fax preferences. Shared
printers can be used by Mac OS X 10.2 or later and Windows
computers.

Mac OS X includes a powerful printing
architecture that allows you to print documents to a fax/modem. Mac
OS X can also receive faxes and have them printed, stored as PDF
files, or emailed.
