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
Color driver for PPA DeskJets. It can run PPA printers at 600dpi in color or mono. In the version 1.0.4 many bugs are fixed. All paper sizes known to Ghostscript up to 11x17 (DeskJet 1000C) are supported.
There is an installer package to use this driver under Mac OS X.
IMPORTANT: This is a driver for "host-based" printing: its output should usually be streamed directly to a local printer port on the same host that runs the driver. The output may be large: writing it to disk (as PDQ does) is also not recommended. (PDQ users should not use the PDQ-matic-generated driver because of this. A correct PDQ driver is supplied with pnm2ppa).
