Not Darktable specific, but useful info With special thanks to David Vincent-Jones I think I have figured out how to make printing from Darktable useful on the Mac The secret is that you need to go into the CUPS server page by pointing your browser to http://localhost:631 Once there, you can

All I am using the Epson Print Layout program to do the final printing. I export from DT in the highest possible resolution jpg. Then I leave DT and go into Epson Print Layout, and print from there. The Epson program is free and offers control over most things including the Epson ABW model.
