Title: foomatic-rip.tcz Description: Foomatic printer filter for CUPS Version: nightly build 2013.02.20 Author: Till Kamppeter, Lars Uebernickel, Grant Taylor & Helge Blischke Original-site: http://www.openprinting.org/download/foomatic/ Copying-policy: GPL v2 Size: 64K Extension_by: aus9 Tags: Foomatic printer filter CUPS Comments: Contains foomatic-rip and beh (Backend Error Handler). foomatic-rip is the main PostScript/PDF-to-printer's-native-language filter and beh is a CUPS backend wrapper for fine-tuning how a CUPS queue should behave on failure of its backend. foomatic-rip (executable) works with all spoolers and always uses PPD files for printer/driver capabilities info. Manufacturer-supplied PPDs (in most cases of PostScript printers) can be used, too. For getting Foomatic PPD files for this version, go to http://www.openprinting.org/ foomatic-rip.tcz could be called Filter scripts as this tcz can be used by the printer spoolers to convert the incoming PostScript data into the printer's native format using a printer/driver specific, but spooler-independent PPD file.
