I have a question regarding Mac OS X Panther printing to non-PostScript (raster) printers.
OK.
Can someone confirm that the CUPS printing way, for any application (native Cocoa, non-prepress Carbon applications, prepress Carbon applications), is the same, i.e.
PDF -> raster -> printer -> backend
I am not sure what the "printer" in your diagram is, since the hardware itself would be at the end of the process - but otherwise, that's generally the idea.
With Panther it is also possible to have Postscript come in the front end of the process, which is then converted to PDF and then continues down the rest of the path.
(except perhaps for Acrobat 6)?
Acrobat 6.0, along with the rest of the Creative Suite, will send raster images directly and skip the PDF step.
Acrobat 6.0.1 sends Postscript for the Postscript path...
