CUPS is the widely used printing system for UNIX-like operating systems that presents a modern, network-centric print stack built around IPP. It includes the scheduler (the print server), filters, backends, and PPD/driver plumbing needed to accept jobs, determine capabilities, rasterize or convert, and deliver output to devices over local and network transports. Its modular pipeline lets administrators and vendors plug in drivers or filter chains while retaining a consistent user-facing interface across platforms. Client tools and libraries provide command-line and programmatic access for queue management, job submission, and printer discovery. Over time CUPS has aligned closely with driverless printing via IPP-Everywhere/AirPrint-style capability exchange, reducing the need for vendor-specific drivers on many devices. The project’s reference implementation is battle-tested across desktops, servers, and embedded systems that expose print services to a network.

CUPS back-end for the canon printers using the proprietary USB over IP BJNP protocol. This back-end allows Cups to print over the network to a Canon printer. The design is based on reverse engineering of the protocol. Version 2.0 adds ink-level reporting and improved out-of-paper detection. Version 2.0.1 is now released under GPLv2 or later to be compatible with the changed cups license. No other changes. Version 2.0.2 fixes a compile error with GCC9 Version 2.0.3 Fix GCC10 compile errors. increase status buffer size for newer printers that send larger status messages

Barbecue is a Java library that enables the creation of barcodes in a variety of standard formats that can be displayed as Swing/AWT components, included in printed output, generated as EPS and SVG and displayed in a web application.

CuteReport is a report solution like Jasper Report, Crystal Reports or FastReport, but based on Qt framework. It can be easily used with any Qt application. In general, CuteReport consists of two parts: core library and template designer. Both are totally modular and theirs functionality can be easily extended by writing additional modules. It's totally abstract of used data and can use as storage: file system, database, version control systems, etc. The project's goal is to provide powerful, but yet simple to use for inexperienced user and report designers, reporting system. It is supposed to be a product that combines eXaro ideas from Qt world and FastReport functionality from Delphi world and brings the best of them to C++/Qt world and then shares it with Python, Ruby, Perl developers using bindings. СuteReport also has a commercial version. Read about it on the official web site.
