In February 2007, “Apple… acquired the copyright to the code comprising the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS),” Jonny Evans reports for Macworld UK.
“CUPS is a printing system for Unix-like systems that allows computers to act as print servers, a computer running CUPS can accept print jobs from other machines on the network,” Evans reports. “Apple has utilised CUPS since the first iteration of Mac OS X.”
CUPS developer Michael Sweet reported the deal in a recent blog post.

Lately, you could say Apple’s cups runneth over.
Yes TMF, I see this as a cups half-full situation.
You got your A cups.. your B cups.. your C cups.. and your D cups.
Don’t underestimate the advantages of wearing cups. Those things have saved me many times over in my younger day playing sports. I am blessed with 3 children thanks to the protective nature of cups.
Once again Apple demonstrates its lead in protection, safety and security. Looking forward to the WiFi-enabled iCup announcement at MacWorld in January. By this time next year all the ballplayers will be wearing them.
Maybe Apple will buy UNIX next
My missus had bigger cups than that Frank

Hey Muster, in England we call a cup a box. I wonder if it’s because we need more space for our contents

“The D is the largest”
@AAPLguy and Frank Costanza
The “BRO” or “Mansier”?
Then he stopped short to grab the cup.
Well I hope it leads to faster printing – 15 seconds to ev even get a response to a file/print command is ridiculous. Its the one thing about my Mac that I find totally unacceptable…
Hey my ladies cup is a DD and I kid you not!
