These drivers provide high quality printing gutenprint: in many cases equal to or better than proprietary vendor-supplied gutenprint: drivers. Gutenprint also includes an enhanced print plug-in for the gutenprint: GIMP image editor. gutenprint: PACKAGE NAME: hplip-1.6.9-i486-1.tgz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./testing/packages PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 10427 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 14880 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: hplip: hplip (HP print/scan/fax support) hplip: hplip: HPLIP is an HP developed solution for printing, scanning, and faxing hplip: with HP inkjet and laser based printers in Linux. hplip: hplip: The HPLIP project provides printing support for more than 1000 printer hplip: models, including Deskjet, Officejet, Photosmart, PSC (Print Scan Copy), hplip: Business Inkjet, LaserJet, and LaserJet MFP. hplip: hplip: For more information, see: http://hplip.sf.net hplip: PACKAGE NAME: iptables-1.3.6-i486-1.tgz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./testing/packages PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 324 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 910 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: iptables: iptables (IP packet filter administration) iptables: iptables: iptables is a packet filter administration tool. iptables: iptables: Iptables can be used to build internet firewalls based on stateless iptables: and stateful packet filtering, use NAT and masquerading for sharing iptables: internet access if you don't have enough public IP addresses, use NAT iptables: to implement transparent proxies, aid the tc and iproute2 systems iptables: used to build sophisticated QoS and policy routers, do further packet iptables: manipulation (mangling) like altering the TOS/DSCP/ECN bits of the IP iptables: header, and much more.
