Their name is not a horribly good implicator of their purpose.
According to thier front page: 

Welcome to the LinuxPrinting.org website. We have resources to help
with printing under free operating systems like GNU/Linux and the
BSDs or under commercial UNIX-like systems such as Solaris and OS
X.

They also come out with some real pearls of OS design...

# What 'echo' program to use.  It needs -e and -n.  Linux's builtin
# and regular echo work fine; non-GNU platforms may need to install
# gnu echo and put gecho here or something.
