Greetings, I just subscribed.
I may get a contract to write a macOS driver for a USB printer. Is
there any documentation or sample code for this?
I plan to buy Michael Sweet's "CUPS: Common UNIX Printing System" but I
need to find a bookstore that has it in stock or could order it, and
that accepts PayPal. (Powells in Portland, Oregon accepts PayPal but is
unable to order it.)
Alternatively, perhaps one of you right chaps could sell me your copy
and I would pay you with PayPal.
My plan is to write a prototype on Linux then port it to macOS. I need
to know what is different or special about macOS printer drivers.
Somewhere I found the advice that one should contact Apple Developer
Technical Support before starting work. Would I need to use a Support
Incident to do so? Or do I really need their help? I'm quite an
experienced Mac developer.
I have lots of experience with Postscript and with PCL. I've written
some SCSI scanner drivers, but my USB experience is only with storage.
