Cups pdf for mac3/14/2024 ![]() Check for all supported Ghostscript devices by calling “gs -h”, if you have Ghostscript already installed.

From 1.1.15 and in all future releases, the former “pstoraster” RIP function, provided and shipped as a CUPS filter, is “outsourced” now to a system's Ghostscript installation. (1) This chart is correct for CUPS versions prior to 1.1.15. One of the most important and universal extensions of the CUPS fitering system is provided by “foomatic-rip” (developed by Till Kamppeter, Mandriva, with idea input by Johannes Meixner, SuSE, and based on “cupsomatic” of Foomatic 2.0.x, originally developed by Grant Taylor and vastly improved by Till Kamppeter) The easiest way probably is to provide a special “rastertovendor” filter, taking the well-documented pre-RIP-ed CUPS-Raster format (a MIME type registered with IANA, the Internet Assigning Numbers Authority) as input and spitting out the special raster data the vendor device needs… It is very easy for printer manufacturers to make “their own” drivers run for CUPS. Due to its modular design, all kinds of “Third Party” or custom filters might be plugged in. The CUPS filtering system is a very flexible and powerful framework.
