PAPPL Framwork was originally designed to support the press system lprint and drivers gutenprint , but can be used to implement support for any printers and drivers when printing for printing, server and built -in systems. It is assumed that PAPPL can help accelerate the promotion of IPP EVERYWHERE technology instead of classic drivers and simplify support for other IPP programs, such as airprint and mopria .
