Hi,
I have printer that is based on a PPD and a CUPS filter. The filter
processes PS data. Now I want to support presets for iPhoto for my printer.
I have read the documentation "Creating Printing Presets for iPhoto" on p.10
it states:
> Installing a Printing Presets File After you create a printing presets file
> for your printer module, you need to name the file Presets.xml and put it in
> the Resources directory of the printer module. The XML file is not localizable
> so you must put the printing presets file at the top level of the Resources
> directory; do not put the file in any of the language (.lproj )
> sub-directories. The complete path for your printing presets file must be:
> /Library/Printers/vendor/.../vendorPM.plugin/Contents/Resources/Presets.xml
> For example, the location of ABC printer company¹s printing presets file for
> the SpiffyPrint model BL2300 printer would be:
> /Library/Printers/ABC/SpiffyPrint/BL2300PM.plugin/Contents/Resources/Presets.x
> ml As long as your file is installed in the correct location, the printing
> systems uses your printing presets file even if Apple provides a file for your
> printer module. In other words, your printing presets file takes precedence
> over a file supplied by Apple.
For a CUPS filter there is no "vendorPM.plugin". And there are no standard
Apple supplied presets for my CUPS filter based printer in the iPhoto
printing dialog. Is there a special PPD entry to be generated? Reviewing the
PPD documentation (http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2004/qa1352.html) I did
not find a keyword documented for this.
Does anybody have an idea how to get this going?
Thanks in advance
Thomas Hartwich
