Print from OS X to any Linux-supported printer
Authored by: vladimus on Nov 25, '03 01:39:36PM

In my experience, all you need is CUPS installed on the Linux box. The printer just popped up in Print Center as soon as I'd set up the printer, at least under Mandrake.

Don't even need Rendezvous/ZeroConf installed, CUPS does it automatically.

Print from OS X to any Linux-supported printer

I've used this ability of CUPS for a year or so now with absolutely wonderful results. First discovered it using Mandrake 9.0 and Mac OS X 10.2 when I went to add the printer using CUPS and there was NO configuration needed! It just worked!

Print from OS X to any Linux-supported printer
Authored by: Moneystradamus on Jan 28, '04 01:03:02PM

I am having trouble understanding why the author of the original hint would want to go through the hassles of having his printer connected to an XP box and using an intermediary Linux box to do the translation. My question, if you can answer it, is if I have the printer connected to a FreeBSD box, could I duplicate the procedure, as documented?
