Send pdf to printer

[ange3791]

I have an older non IPP printer that can print postscript or pdf files sent raw. I have the manufacturer's PPD file. How can I set up my queue using the ppd to send PDFs to the printer?

Thanks,
Andy

Maybe by adding one or more *cupsFilter:-lines to your PPD somewhere within the first 10 lines? Something like:

*cupsFilter: "application/pdf 0 -"
*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-pdf 0 -"
*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 -"

The third line allows CUPS to also send PostScript

Or use the more modern CUPS syntax:

*cupsFilter2: "application/vnd.cups-pdf application/vnd.cups-pdf 10 -"
