Seems this printer is unsupported via CUPS in GNU/Linux which is a shame as every other wired or wireless device in the house can print to it AFAICT. Completely failed to persuade CUPS to throw a document at it via the generic printer drivers. I can print by uploading a PDF to Google Cloud Print ironically... The Cloud has won. How hard is it to roll your own printer driver? Last time I did it you just wrote a shell script and joined a few bits of Ghostscript together. I'm hoping somewhere I can just create a PPD by describing the technical details in the manual. Is there likely to be any useful bits in the Mac DMG. I couldn't immediately find a PPD in the obvious places, but in Mac OS X even if it existed finding it may be a bit of a gamble. As far as I can tell it supports IPP, and Airprint (extension to IPP for Mac's), but haven't yet stumbled on clear technical documentation that might spell out precisely what is needed at the layer of driver. Seems if all else fails I can checkout a driver from a git repository to send a PDF to Cloudprint - but this isn't my idea of "the Dao of programming". -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
