It is true that CUPS's principle is that all printer-specific filtering (printer driver) is happening on the server. Problem is that one can easily misconfigure CUPS to delegate this work to the client. What you have to do is not assigning any driver, not even "Generic PostScript Printer" to your printer on the Mac. Then CUPS loads whenever an application´s printing dialog is opened the PPD from the server and gives you all control options of the driver (which is running on the server). Then the Mac sends the original PDF output of the application to the server and the option settings separately as IPP attributes.
I think you have to let the printer tool of Mac OS X search for printers on the network and select your printer from the results. -- Print quality degraded when printing from a Mac onto a CUPS server under Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511550 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
