  5. When using the Foomatic framework, printers are driven by a PPD (Printer
  6. Postscript Description) file which, unless already provided in a
  7. particular package, can be generated using the foomatic-ppdfile(1)
  8. command.
  9. Drivers availability depends on which Foomatic DB package are installed
  10. on the system:
  11. e.g. foomatic-db, hpijs, foo2zjs, gutenprint...
  12. PPD generation example for a Samsung ML-2850D
  13. =============================================
  14. $ foomatic-ppdfile -P 2850
  15. Samsung ML-2850D Id='Samsung-ML-2850D' Driver='Postscript' CompatibleDrivers='Postscript pxlmono '
  16. $ foomatic-ppdfile -p 'Samsung-ML-2850D' -d 'Postscript' > samsung-ml2850d.ppd
  17. "samsung-ml2850d.ppd" can then be used as an input filter with CUPS or
  18. for direct printing using foomatic-rip(1) from the cups-filters package.
  19. Printers using CUPS native drivers (drv) will not be detected by
  20. foomatic-ppdfile(1) and must be installed using the CUPS tools or its
  21. web interface.
