    Hello all,

    I'm writing an application in based in C/C++ and I want my app to print to a standard printer.

    From what I have read, the way to go is to use CUPS as a layer between my app and the printer, so my question is...

    How do I do this?
    Does anyone know of a library (in C/C++ would be great, but any language that can interface C/C++ can is also good:)), that allows me to interface cups and setup/change the installed printers?

    I want something like this

    SetupPrinter(...)
    (...)
    PrintFile(...)

    best regards
    André
