For hardcore geeks, Common UNIX Printing System or simply CUPS is an open-source printing layer for UNIX-like operating systems, including GNU/Linux, BSD (FreeBSD, OpenBSD), Solaris, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows. For end users, CUPS is that piece of software that lets them add printers, manage printers, as well as print documents on their computers.

The latest version, CUPS 2.0.2 has been officially released today, February 10, to address a cupsRasterReadPixels buffer overflow for invalid page headers and compressed raster data. However, it introduces numerous bug fixes, as well as overall performance improvements. Looking at the changelog, we can see several important fixes for the OpenBSD operating system, such as USB printing and charset transcoding issues.
