| You need to have Foomatic-RIP and Ghostscript installed. You can find links to installers on this page: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/pxlmono (alternatively you can install ghostscript using brew with ‘brew install ghostscript’). There is a pxlmono download on that page which contains loads of PPD files for all sorts of printers, but none of them support colour. | |
| Once the dependencies are installed, you can use pxlcolor to generate a PPD file on this page for the printer, or generate a Generic PCL 6/PCL XL Printer PPD file (attached), which allows you to print with colour. | |
| http://www.openprinting.org/driver/pxlcolor | |
| Set the printer up using Cups. To do this you need to enable the web interface by running this from a Terminal prompt: | |
| cupsctl WebInterface=yes | |
| You can then browse Cups on http://localhost:631/printers/ |
