When using the Foomatic framework, printers are driven by a PPD (Printer
|
||
|
|
Postscript Description) file which, unless already provided in a
|
||
|
|
particular package, can be generated using the foomatic-ppdfile(1)
|
||
|
|
command.
|
||
|
|
Drivers availability depends on which Foomatic DB package are installed
|
||
|
|
on the system:
|
||
|
|
e.g. foomatic-db, hpijs, foo2zjs, gutenprint...

PPD generation example for a Samsung ML-2850D
|
||
|
|
=============================================
|
||
|
|
$ foomatic-ppdfile -P 2850
|
||
|
|
Samsung ML-2850D Id='Samsung-ML-2850D' Driver='Postscript' CompatibleDrivers='Postscript pxlmono '
|
||
|
|
$ foomatic-ppdfile -p 'Samsung-ML-2850D' -d 'Postscript' > samsung-ml2850d.ppd
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"samsung-ml2850d.ppd" can then be used as an input filter with CUPS or
|
||
|
|
for direct printing using foomatic-rip(1) from the cups-filters package.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Printers using CUPS native drivers (drv) or for which only schema definitions
|
||
|
|
(xml) but no ppd exist will not be detected by foomatic-ppdfile(1) and must
|
||
|
|
be installed using the CUPS tools, the CUPS web interface or native utilities
|
||
|
|
(e.g. cups-genppd(8) from gutenprint).
