10.4: Integrate CUPS 1.2.8 with Mac OS X 10.4.8
Authored by: Pip on Mar 02, '07 10:25:58PM

Has anyone had success printing to a CUPS 1.2 server from a Mac running the stock CUPS 1.1 that comes with Tiger? I tried it a few months ago with CUPS 1.2 on Gentoo, and it simply didn't work. I had a bear of a time getting browsing to work, and then whenever I tried to print from a Mac, it threw up a generic error message whenever I tried to print. I'm hoping that I don't need to wait for Leopard for this to be fixed

Yes. I have implemented the above solution using a Mac OS X 10.4.8 client system as the CUPS 1.2.8 print server, with "regular" Mac OS X 10.4.8 client systems and Windows XP systems printing to it.

Yes, we print to a CUPS daemon on Solaris 8. Unlike Linux and Solaris clients, however, Macs are extremely sluggish when setting ServerName to the CUPS server int /etc/cups/client.conf. The UI pauses intermittently when performing any printing tasks.
