Changing the installed default paper size.With modern printers usually being driverless IPP printers, classic printer drivers, installed under CUPS by its web interface or a printer setup tool, are deprecated and replaced by Printer Applications (for the non-driverless legacy and specialty printers) which emulate driverless IPP printers as this one.How to use Ghostscript How to use Ghostscript Table of contents In the future, there will be utilities to easily find non-driverless printers and find the correct Printer Application for them.

You find it with your browser under Note that currently printers have to get added via the web interface to use them. Like on a physical network printer there is a web interface for administration, here especially also for adding and configuring printers. This Printer Application emulates a driverless IPP network printer (IPP Everywhere) for each physical printer set up with it, so your computer's printing environment discovers it automatically and makes your printer(s) available for printing. Updates are mainly bug fixes or new printer additions, especially Ricoh (brands Gestetner, InfoPrint, Infotec, Lanier, NRG, Ricoh, Savin) is regularly adding new PCL 5e, PCL-XL, and PDF printers. Note that most drivers are not further developed any more as partially they are for ancient printers, or for common printer languages, like PCL, which do not change any more.

) and have made many user's printers work and these printers will continue to work in environments where only Printer Applications (and no classic printer driver packages) are supported. These drivers already ship for many years with most common Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, SUSE.

There are not only model-specific entries to choose from, but also generic entries for the common formats for the case your printer is not explicitly listed. ) but also many printers with proprietary print data formats are supported. Especially many standard laser (PCL 6/XL, PCL 5c/e, PCL4) and dot matrix (ESC/P, OKI, IBM. The printer model support is based on OpenPrinting's printer support database ( ). It supports ~5000 different printer models, mainly with drivers from the well-known Ghostscript ( ) but also some others. If you want to use an (older) printer which is not a modern driverless IPP printer and is also not a PostScript printer (which would be supported by the PostScript Printer Application ( ) then) Then this is the right Printer Application for you.
