Linc Davis, no other printers than the Xerox PE220 show up. Apparently adding this printer in the past caused all other printers to disappear, even the generic default ones. Even after I deleted that printer, there are still no other printers/drivers showing up through the usual route (Print/Scan) -- I believe this is what John Blanchard1 is also syaing ("the PS and PCL ppds were not showing up in the Use menu").
Devices connected to the global queue must support PostScript (other languages are in development). That is, the device must be able to understand the postscript language. (You can use PCL drivers but the hardware has to be able to understand postscript.)

When prompted to install the print drivers for x86 processors, click Browse, navigate back to the PCGlobal.inf (Program Files\PaperCut application directory\providers\print\drivers\global\win\); then click Open.
This document describes how to set up LPD printing under Mac OS X 10.9 and later, so that you can print to printers within your own building and to printers connected to MITnet at other campus locations. These instructions assume the printer has been set up on MITnet.
Printer Drivers/Software:Mac OS X includes printer drivers/software and PostScript Printer Description (PPD) files for many printers; see the following Apple Support pages:Mac OS X: Printer and scanner software
But the Open source folks never let that kind of thing stop them, so Gutenprint is probably the best bet. The printer is just a BW machine, and unless you have an advanced finisher there isn't much needed. Just install GutenPrint, then install the printer and choose one of the PCL drivers added by Gutenprint. You won't get beyond 2 sided printing, but you will be able to print.
Now your queue is disconnected from its real device URI and "connected" to the "file" device. It will now store all processed print jobs in the location /var/spool/cups/tmp/ps-test.ps. (You may need root privileges to scrap it off or read it there.)
The lpadmin(8) program is used to add, modify, or delete destinations, while the lpinfo(8) command is used to list the available printer drivers and backends. The cupsctl(8) program is used to manage the printing system as a whole, including things like debug logging and printer sharing. The CUPS web interface (" :631" or " :631") can also be used, and most operating systems provide their own GUI administration tools.
The CUPS sample drivers (the "drv:///sample.drv/..." lines above) can be used for "legacy" printers. For example, the following command creates a destination for a HP LaserJet printer at IP address 11.22.33.44:
The printing system log files track the activity of the scheduler, printer drivers, and backends. If problems occur and the log files do not provide sufficient details to diagnose the problem, you can enable debug logging using the cupsctl command:
Eventually, I contacted Epson support. They provided the solution. It was one that I should have known, as I had previously confronted a similar situation with my HP laser printer: I needed to switch drivers. Because, as it turns out, for most printers today, you have a choice of two different printer drivers.
Gimp-Print 4.2.7 is the last stable release of Gimp-Print version 4.2.x for Mac OS X; it includes 225 drivers supporting over 600 printers. The disk-image file includes an OS X installer package, an uninstaller package, plus illustrated documentation to easily guide you through the printer set-up process. (source code)
Uninstall Gutenprint 1.2.1 is an update to the Gutenprint uninstaller for Mac OS X. This release can remove the Gutenprint drivers Apple supplies with the Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5.x) install disk. Also, the uninstaller will now provide the user with confirmation that shows what has been removed.
The predecessor to this software package (the original Print plugin for the GIMP) was first written by Michael Sweet of Easy Software Products and initially worked only as a print plugin to the GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program). In the summer of 1999, I purchased an Epson Stylus Photo EX printer to feed my photography hobby. Finding no existing printer drivers, I adapted Mike's GIMP Print plugin to this six-color printer, and by the end of the year released version 3.0 of the Gimp-Print software, which was included in version 1.1 of the GIMP. The intention was for this to be the stable plugin in version 1.2 of the GIMP while development of the GIMP Print plugin continued for later release.
The Gimp-Print 4.2 release proved to be far more successful than we ever imagined. First of all, it was wonderfully stable from the outset; it was to be over 4 months before we needed to release an update. We added one major new feature shortly after release, support for the new Ghostscript driver architecture based on HP's HPIJS driver. This driver architecture allowed drivers to be compiled independently of Ghostscript (previously drivers had to be compiled into Ghostscript, a somewhat daunting project for end users). We continued to add more printers, dither algorithms, and so forth, all without breaking compatibility with the initial 4.2.0 release.
2002 was a very exciting year for Gimp-Print. Apple had released OS X for the Macintosh and was planning to rely on a lot of free/open source software for key functions of the OS. In particular from our standpoint, many vendors had not updated printer drivers for OS X, and many did not want to update their drivers for older printers. Since OS X had settled on CUPS as the core of its printing system from 10.2 on, and Gimp-Print had full support for CUPS, the fit was very obvious and Gimp-Print wound up becoming part of the OS X printing system. We were very busy that year preparing for release of Gimp-Print for OS X. This was done in 4.2.2, which we released almost 9 months after the initial 4.2.0 release (which says something about the stability of Gimp-Print 4.2). This release created a lot of excitement in the OS X world and for us, and we did three more releases in quick succession culminating with Gimp-Print 4.2.5 in early 2003.
Unfortunately, we didn't accomplish all of our goals for Gutenprint 5.0. We have not incorporated true color management; our Postscript output driver in the GIMP plugin (and indeed, the GIMP plugin itself) is still in need of a rewrite; the drivers other than the Epson driver haven't been fully updated to take advantage of the capabilities of Gutenprint 5.0. However, these changes can be made later, either in later 5.0 releases or in the next release series. Gutenprint is not "finished" and never will be!
I am looking at buying a printer (actually an all-in-one I prefer for the features it provides, but I want to focus on the printer part here) which does not provide linux drivers, but does provide Mac OS X drivers. I know that both operating systems (can) use CUPS for printing. Does this mean that I could copy the ppd (driver) file from the Mac OS X driver package and use it (modified) under linux?
This document describes how to develop printer drivers for PostScript printers. Topics include: printer driver basics, creating new PPD files, importing existing PPD files, using custom filters, implementing color management, and adding OS X features.
PostScript printer drivers typically do not require their own command filter since CUPS includes a generic PostScript command filter that supports all of the standard functions using PPD-defined commands.
PostScript drivers require the attributes listed in Table 1. If not specified, the defaults for CUPS drivers are used. A typical PostScript driver information file would include the following attributes:
Normally a PostScript printer driver will not utilize any additional print filters. For drivers that provide additional filters such as a CUPS command file filter for doing printer maintenance, you must also list the following Filter directive to handle printing PostScript files:
The Office of Information Technology is unable to automatically push out the Canon SecurePrint printer drivers to Mac computers. To manually install the Canon printer drivers on your computer, please follow these instructions.
Xerox print drivers for the current macOS and Windows operating systems are available for select Xerox products. Choose a link below to view more information about the status of print drivers for these operating systems and your Xerox product.
For organizations committed to the Microsoft 365 cloud, Universal Print is the modern, cloud-based print solution that provides robust and centralized print management capabilities and a straightforward end user experience, while eliminating the need to maintain traditional on-premises print servers, active directory, or install printer drivers. Universal Print is a multi-tenant print solution service hosted on Azure. For organizations that are committed to Microsoft 365 cloud, it replaces the Windows Server print server functionality.
Universal Print offers multiple ways in which a location can be specified. You can use the Country, City, Building, Floor etc. Alternatively, we have built GPS based location proximity. If admin specifies the latitude and longitude of the printer in Universal Print portal, and same is available for the user, we will do the nearest match.
To use PDF printing, you must install the PostScript printer drivers you want to use for PDF printing on the application server. Make sure the printer drivers have sufficient features for your users. By default, SGD is configured to use the HP Color LaserJet 2800 Series PS printer driver. The printer driver name entered in the Postscript Printer Driver field on the Printing tab must match the name of the printer driver installed on the application server exactly. Pay particular attention to the use of capitals and spaces. The /opt/tarantella/etc/data/default.printerinfo.txt file contains all the common printer driver names, ordered by manufacturer. To avoid errors, copy and paste the driver name from this file. 2ff7e9595c
