+long_desc="
+ Foomatic is a printing system designed to make it easier to set up common
+ printers for use with Linux (and other operating systems). It provides the
+ "glue" between a print spooler (like CUPS or lpr) and your actual printer,
+ by telling your computer how to process files sent to the printer.
+
+ This package contains the printer database distributed by OpenPrinting for
+ most common drivers. You will probably need the foomatic-db-engine package
+ for this package to be useful."
