Getting a new printer

It has linux cups drivers !
To check if these cups drivers are compatible with ArcaOS (cups)
ivan:
If I am reading the specifications for the DCP-L3560cdw correctly it has built in support for postscript (BR-Script3) which means that CUPS is not required. All that is needed is the ppd file and Alex's PSPRINT driver - that is all I use with both of my Brother printers.
beregond:
Thanks again! Ivan, I think I understood from another thread that it is also necessary to 'clean' the ppd?
Pete:
Hi beregond
The tool - cleanppd.cmd - to clean the ppd file is found in [BootDrive]:\sys\install\PRNDRV\PMDD_6\cleanppd.cmd
Probably worth reading the section of the readme file describing use [BootDrive]:\sys\install\PRNDRV\PMDD_6\readme
Regards
Pete
Alex Taylor:
If you use the Manage Printers GUI then there's no need to clean the PPD manually - just select Import PPD from the menu and it will handle all of that automatically.
