5 INSTALLING PRINTER DRIVERS FOR UNIX/Linux
Setting Up the CUPS 125
Setting Up the CUPS
When you want to configure the UNIX/Linux printing using CUPS, you can use LPR printing or IPP printing.
When printing using CUPS, the output paper size cannot be specified. If you want to specify the output paper size,
please use the UNIX/Linux filter.
About CUPS
This section describes the behavior, options, and installation method of the CUPS printer driver for the equipment. The
behavior of the printer driver presented in this specification is consistent with CUPS v1.1.15. The driver may appear and/
or operate slightly differently in the different versions.
In the CUPS environment, use a PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file, not a printer driver to configure the printing .
The PPD file is included in this package.
Development Environment
The provided CUPS printer driver is supported on the following UNIX/Linux workstation.
y Red Hat 8.0 CUPS 1.1.18
Implementation Method
This driver consists of a PPD file that works in conjunction with an interface like XPP, KPrinter, etc. It can also be used on
OSX in the same way that it is used on Linux, but this is not recommended.
Supplied Components
There is one supplied component, a PPD file called “HS_CUPS.gz”. It has been compressed using gzip. It does not need
to be uncompressed for Linux to use the PPD file and so it should be left compressed.
The user needs root privileges to place the PPD file in the default location. The default location for the standard CUPS
PPD files is:
/usr/share/cups/model/HS_Series
