Generic Instructions:
CUPS,
no spooler,
PPD aware applications/clients,
Important for Windows clients: The CUPS PostScript driver for Windows has a bug which makes
it choking on PPD files which contain GUI texts longer than 39 characters. Therefore it is
recommended to use Adobe's PostScript driver. If you still want to use the CUPS driver,
please mark "GUI texts limited to 39 characters" to get an appropriate PPD file.
Comments
This driver is available in the Ghostscript Printer Application
This is a Ghostscript-based driver for PostScript level 1 printers. Applications usually produce PostScript level 2 or 3, sometimes also PDF. None of these formats can be printed by the old PostScript level 1 printers. Fortunately, Ghostscript can convert all these data formats into PostScript level 1 and so these printers can also print.
Note that printing with manufacturer-supplied PPDs will not work with PostScript level 1 printers.
