Re: Using cups

[Ludovic Courtès]

There’s currently no CUPS service for GuixSD—i.e., nothing you could
directly add to the ‘services’ field of your ‘operating-system’
configuration.

If you would like to contribute one such service, that’d be welcome!
The relevant documentation starts at:

  http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Defining-Services.html

The CUPS daemon is needed for printers directly connected to your
machine via USB, for instance.  Printers accessible over the network are
typically accessible automagically via the GTK+ printer dialog, thanks
to DNS-SD (Avahi).
