CUPS does only 2 things: - interpret its input (a postscript of PDF file) by feeding it through GhostScript accompanied by the PPD (PostScript Printer Definition) matchin the printer - send the output to the printer through a backend implementing the low-level access layer SANE works basically the same way.
