Installer packages
Authored by: mclbruce on Oct 11, '02 11:07:41AM

I'm not a UNIX guru, so I may be out of my depth here. However, there is an OS X installer package for ghostscript:

http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3

This page also has an OS X installer for GIMP-print, which includes PPD files for many computers. I think installing both of these packages gives you all of the functionality mentioned in the above hint.

Both GIMP-print and GhostScript were mentioned in Phil Shiller's talk at Seybold SF recently. It's a pretty good overview to this subject:

Correction: GIMP-print PPD's

... are for printers, not computers. GIMP-Print contains many printer description files that work with CUPS and GhostScript.
