Virtual printer
Could someone please help me set up a virtual printer?
i need this because our printer can't work on Linux because there is no Linux driver for it. There is a good description using the /etc/printcap file here : http://www.digitalhermit.com/linux/printing/index.html but there is no printcap installed for Zenwalk.If a printcap file is created how would i get cups to use it?Or is there a better way? |
I'm not sure what you're trying to do. I've never heard of a
virtual printer. It sounds like you want to have a printer in cups, even though it won't print to a real printer. If that's the case, you can create a PDF printer. This gives you a printer you can use in your applications and it makes pdf files. I don't know what packages are available for Zenwalk. Try searching for CUPS-pdf. |
Thanks for the reply.
I'm testing some .NET printing programs under mono.What i need is a Linux equivalent to a Windows XPS printer, that prints to any document.This is a virtual printer.There's lots of types for Windows but none for Linux. I think i'm going to have to bite the bullet,and try to print from Zenwalk through the Windows pc. |
