Sharing a printer with UNIX machines
Authored by: ssevenup on Apr 10, '03 01:31:51PM

Anyone have any idea how printers like our HP8550 that claim to handle PDF natively play into this equation? I have never found any evidence that any jobs are being sent to the printer as PDF, or how that might be accomplished. I have never seen any way to get OSX to send PDF straight to the printer. I also have no idea if the printer handles both binary and ascii format PDF. Obviously if the printer is on the network the Debian box could just send the job direct, but I still am interested in the answers assuming it were connected to an OSX box acting as a print server as described here.
