Definitely Postscript.


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.

 Subject: 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,

 I use JetDirect with my Apple devices.  I print to a HP OfficeJet 7310
all-in-one
 with no problems.

 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.

I used to install a freebsd machine in the network
than install cups, and install a PPD file for that 
printer (in the attach) configure  run cups.
