Subject: Re: [Printing-architecture] Concept for PPD-less CUPS-spooled printing on Bonjour-discovered network printers
Date: Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:06:39 +0100 [thread overview]

Some days ago, I have released cups-filters 1.0.43. It improves a lot on
PPD-less printing:
- PPD-less PCL 5c/e printing with rastertopclx, in grayscale and color
- PPD-less PostScript printing with pdftops, duplex, resolution, input
tray, color mode, and make/model (for quirk rules) can now be
supplied by the command line
- pdftoippprinter switches to Poppler-based pdftoraster if Ghostscript
is not present, eliminating need of Ghostscript for PPD-less printing
- gstoraster and pdftoraster are capable to output PWG Raster
- Support unprintable margins supplying them on the command line via
"media-left-margin", "media-right-margin", "media-bottom-margin", and
"media-top-margin" (in 1/100th of a mm).
- Handle options duplex/sides, fit-to-page/fitplot, orientation-
requested/landscape correctly when printing PPD-less
- A lot of bug fixes.
I also had to fix a bug in Poppler, see
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72312
This should allow PPD-less printing on most supported printers now. Bug
reports and patches are welcome.
