How to install a PostScript printer

Hi, I need to install a postcript printer but I cant find any drivers in mac os lion. Can you tell me how to do so?
Thnax a lotin advance

The Generic Postscript PPD is included with Lion. So when adding a printer you should be able to change the Print Using menu to see this Generic PS printer. Or, if you are a debian user, then you may prefer to use the CUPS web page as you would with your Linux distro.

I presume you mean that pop-ups are disabled. If you're using Safari, that setting is in the Safari Security preferences. For other web browsers, consult their documentation.

Can anyone tell me how to install a network printer driver without having the network printer online?

Can anyone tell me how to install a network printer driver without having the network printer online? It doesn't matter what manufactors make the network printers. Is a netwaork printer(with network card) has to have that printer on line to be able to install
the driver? This is the point of my question!
I've ask a same type of question previously, but I can't either get good answer nor reply on the response.

DP
The computer (and driver) have to handshake with the printer, QED it has to be either online or physically connected and if it is physically connected it wont work on the network so yes it does.

How to install a network print on solaris 10

How to install a network print on solaris 10?
Thank You!

Thank you Zettabyte!!
Folks, network printers should NOT BE configured like this:
lpadmin -p somequeue -s someprinter
that creates a remote style queue and puts all the I/O and processing capability on the basic LPD listener present on network printer interfaces. This will cause problems down the road, not to mention that you cannot control access, get any logging, filter content, or control banner pages.
Network printers should use any software (or PPD file) supplied by the vendor over the basic lpadmin/netstandard config.
You can install CUPS, but Oracle won't support it until it's part of the OS (S11, apparently).
The "System Administration Guide: Solaris Printing" is highly recommended for those administering printers on Solaris.

How to set up postscript Printer for printing graphics

We have a requirement to print Structured graphics. I found out that we need to set up a postscript printer for it. After debugging I found out that the Device Type name should be either GRAPHICS or POSTGR or ZGRAP.
How can we set up such a printer?
Thanks in adv.

Hi,
The Device Type names that you have provided are not listed in the SAP Central Note for Printers/device Types
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/8928
However, you can again re-check this note with your printer model and check what suitable device types should be used. As you will find inthis note:
"Device type definitions are stored completely in tables and can be individually adapted, modified or enhanced. If SAP performs such an adjustment for a customer, it constitutes a consulting service, and is generally charged seperately"
SAP has now released the SAP Printer Vendor Program - https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1130927, printer manufacturers can develop and release device types for their printers.
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1100779 contains a list of all participants
Information about the support for new printer models is contained in the "Printer Vendor Wizard Note" of the relevant manufacturer. A complete list of all "Printer Vendor Wizard Notes" is available in Note 1097990. If your printer model is not listed in one of these "Printer Vendor Wizard Notes", proceed as described in Note 1103826.

How to install "generic" PCL6 printer?

I just received a Konica Minolta 2450, fine basic colour laser printer. It's works quite acceptably with the PostScript driver provided by Konica but the basic memory isn't enough for complex printing.
I tried the printer using PCL6 driver on WinXP and it can print a fullpage A4 picture quite fine. With the PostScript driver, no way.
Is there a way to install the Konica as a PCL6 printer on the MacOS X? The documentation is all about installing it as a PostScript printer on Mac..

I don't have that printer, so I can't check this...
I think it will work for you using the HP Color Laserjet 3500 or 5000 driver from the hpijs and ESP ghostscript driver set.

(This translates postscript to PCL on the Mac.)

How to install Canon MG3170 printer to Macbook Air (mid 2012), both USB & wifi

I have been trying to install the Canon MG3170 to my Macbook Air (mid 2012 version) using OS X Version 10.8.4. I followed the paper manual that came with the box & used the CD provided. In the midst of the installation, "AN ERROR OCCURRED WHILE TRYING TO ADD THE SELECTED PRINTER: UNABLE TO FIND THE APPROPRIATE SOFTWARE ON YOUR SYSTEM AFTER RUNNING SOFTWARE UPDATE."
Problems:
1) Cannot connect on Network because there is no WPS button on my Airport Extreme and Airport Express.
2) Cannot print, both via USB or wifi network.
When I bought the printer, I specifically selected this because it has Airprint and wireless printing and was one of the few printers in the Apple Online store. However, I have been having a lot of issues getting the printer installed to be used on my Macbook Air.
Please help!!

Thank you John Galt!
After running SOFTWARE UPDATE, I restarted the Macbook. (DO NOT CONNECT THE PRINTER TO THE MACBOOK YET!)
Then I connected the Canon Printer MG3170 to my MacBook Air via the USB cable.
Next, I switched on the printer.
I am able to print and scan (via USB cable) from;
SYSTEM PREFERENCES - PRINT & SCAN - select CANON MG3100 series.
To install applications for printing & scanning, go to http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/8201148300.html
However, this solved part of the question above, i.e., printing via USB cable (which is not the whole purpose of using the Airprint Printer) but at least it is a start.
*NOTE: UNINSTALL any prior Canon softwares and drivers specifically installed for this printer first before attempting the steps above as it may interfere with the installation process.

Install Non-postscript print on Solaris 10 x86

I tried to setup a print queue on solaris 10 x86 for a Brother HL-1230 non-postscript printer which attached to Linksys EPSX3 print server parallel port 1 (L1).
The network configuration as followed:
EPSX3: 192.168.2.250
Solaris box: 192.168.2.170
/etc/hosts:
192.168.2.170 neptune
192.168.2.250 epsx3
I used the printmgr to setup my print queue. In the destination field I typed epsx23:L1 and pick up the printer drive by model number using ppd file.
I'm able to use the print queue to print text file, eg. /etc/hosts.
However, I didn't get any ouput from web browser. When I print from the PDF viewer, it complained there is no supported postscript printer.
Did I do something wrong in the setup? When I used the lpstat -p command to see the print queue status, it return nothing. Is there anything wrong with the print server daemon?
Thanks.

How to install and set printer paper and tray automatically via script or batch file

Hi,
Our firm using HP Printers and we need to deploy printer in Citrix Environment where setting does not save to the Base PC Image.
Because our Environment is Citrix (User Settings and Printer are deployed when user login).
Can we build the setting into the Base PC Image for All users?
Printer get install when using login.
Problem that I am encounter right now are:
1. How to correctly identify all tray from each printer.
2. How to set all paper tray to A4
I am currently using Powershell Script to install printers during login, all the printer driver has been installed to the Base PC Image.
But the trouble I have is when the script run to completion.
It only added the printer.
I've been googling, but I can't find a way to detect printer tray or how to set all the tray to A4.
I don't mind using any type of script/batch file or even program.
Any of the following language is C#, VB.NET, powershell, vbscript or Event Access to HP API ?
Our Environment:
Windows 7 x32 SP1
Windows Server 2008 R2 (Print Server)
I am using the PCL 6 Printer Driver.
Our Printers are:
HP LJ CP1025NW
HP C LJ 4650
HP C LJ 3525
HP LJ 1045
HP LJ 2050
HP LJ 3055
HP LJ 4015
HP LJ 4350
HP LJ 4700
HP LJ 2035n
Thanks in advance
Regards Dat.

Most of those printers are commercial grade printers. It would be best to post in the commercial LaserJet forums.

How to install the "Generic Printer" PPD for the Print Booklet setting?

Hi,
This is rather urgent. At my university the iMacs used to have the "Generic Printer" option while building a booklet under the "Print Booklet" > "Print settings" > Setup > PPD: Generic Printer, for a Post Script File so we could select any paper size to generate the .ps file. But they've changed the computers and now no one has itm and academic resources will take one month to install the option while I need to generate a booklet for next week. I've noticed some computers (one or two) have the PPD Generic Printer installed and they've explained to us that is a downloadable driver, but we don't really understand how it works. Can someone please tell me where and how I can install this driver so my InDesign will have the PPD: Generic Printer as an option?
Thank you!

thanks for the reply. I followed ur steps to check the printer queue. I could only copy the URI link (which is:
usb://Canon/LBP3100/LBP3108/LBP3150?serial=0000A29AIAWT), however, i couldn't paste to the same place (if im not getting wrong?).
Please see the screenshot as below. Is everything correct there? I still couldn't print anything.

How to install & use a printer driver without actually having the printer?

I'm attempting to make a Life poster in iPhoto and I'm running into an issue with paper sizes that has been identified by other users as an issue in iLife 06. One suggestion I've seen is:
Therefore, you have to add a new printer and chose
one that can actually handle larger paper sizes. A
good one would be the HP Designjet 800PS. If you
added it to your printers and picked it you can
magically select form within larger print sizes.
What I can't figure out is how to add a printer that I don't actually have hooked to my computer to the printer queue so I can select it. I don't want to actually print to it, I just want to access the drivers so I can print to a PDF at a larger size than my actual printer allows.
I downloaded the HP 800PS drivers and install them, but I can't add them through the Printer Setup Utility because it apparently will only let me access printers actually attached to my computer. Is this right?
Or is this a problem for me because when I reinstalled the OS a year or so ago, I didn't install all the 2GB or so worth of printer drivers, I only installed the EPSON ones because that's what my printer was?
But then I think that isn't it, because I can't seem to add any printers at all because there are none hooked up to my PB at the moment.
Perplexed...
TIA.
1.25GHz PB G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1GB RAM

I'm not sure if this will work, but you could try adding a "dummy" IP printer and use the HP 800PS driver when you create it.
Hope this helps.
