<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 subystem 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>
