CUPS and IPP/JD/LPD
I have a printer that doesn't support IPP. The leasing agency wants to charge me $1400 to install the Postcript driver on it but I'm looking at another solution, if possible: CUPS. I have a MacBook and we have a number of iOS devices around the office here that people would love to be able to print from… but AirPrint requires an IPP-compatible printer. Is there a way to convert or translate IPP to either LPD or JetDirect? -- Ryan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

With CUPS, I'm don't remember off the top of my head, but I believe there is a way to create a text only queue. You might want to setup a box with CUPS and use that to act as an intermediary for the iOS devices.

I had and older HP Color inkjet (930?) that was hooked up for a while to a Fedora Core box that was using LPD that worked as well.
