# Printing

This repo enables the CUPS printing service via `modules/system/printer.nix`, but it does **not** bundle any
printer driver packages by default.

## Opt into drivers from a host file

Add driver packages to `services.printing.drivers` in your host module. Example:

```nix
# hosts/my-host.nix
{ pkgs, ... }:

{
  services.printing.drivers = [
    pkgs.gutenprint
  ];
}
```
