  Description     : A network-based print spooler

GNUspool is a fully functioned, high performance Print Spooler and
Management System for a wide range of Unix and GNU/Linux platforms.

It acts as a complete replacement for the standard Unix printing system
and provides a wide variety of print post processing options, form type
handling, alignment pages and numerous other facilities.

In addition, GNUspool runs completely transparently over networks of
hosts, sharing jobs on any host with printers on any other host.

While I'm submitting this ITP, I'm doing it on behalf of the upstream
author, John M Collins <jmc@xisl.com>, who is keen to package it himself.

I've been working with him to get the package into shape, and will be
doing the uploads, as John is not currently a DM or DD.

Cheers, Phil.
