I just updated to Mandrake 9.0 and I must say that the difference in CUPS configuration between 9.0 and 8.2 is night and day. The biggest improvement is in printer selection. I actually found my printer this time. Well, almost. And that is the point of this post.
I have an IBM Network Printer 12. When I set up CUPS durring OS installation, the only selectable item was for PostScript. The print test failed miserably because I do not have a PS module in the printer. I guess this leaves me a few choices: 1) Find/buy a PS module for a printer. 2) Choose an HP filter that does PCL instead (losing the printer-specific capabilites) 3) Manually go in and try to take the CUPS output for the printer and pass it though a second filter to convert to PCL. Before I go running off to the CUPS site, can anyone offer any constructive advice? Thanks
