Re: How to test PDE, PPD and CUPS printer driver without printer(non-PostScript)?



Hi Michael,

I try to use your method to create a virtual printer,
but the available prefix of device uri only includes
pap://, socket://, bluetooth://, fax://, lpd://,
mdns://, usb://, smb://, http:// and ipp://. If I try
to use the format 
file://Users/your_username/Desktop/printer.dump, PSU
denies to create a printer queue. Why?

Then I force to use
usb://Users/your_username/Desktop/printer.dump, where
is the file located? Is it the correct way?

Thanks again,
--Henry
