** Notes **

The exact installation commands on your system may differ from the
above example. For detailed instructions (and what to use in place of
`$PRINTER_URI`), check out Mounaiban's Captdriver Wiki at:

For security reasons, `rastertocapt` must be approprately locked down
or it will not work; it must be owned by the `root` user
with read-and-execute-only permissions to all other users. Please see
this issue on the original repo for details:
