Is there something in my PPD (or missing from it) that would be triggering this? Since I just started working on it this morning, it's quite likely I missed something. How does the OS determine if the printer is PostScript or not?

If there is no usage of the cupsFilter keyword in the PPD file, it is considered a PostScript printer.

It appears to be more specific than that. I had built a PPD with the ppdc compiler, starting with the color.drv sample. It has the following line:


Filter application/vnd.cups-raster 100 rastertofoo

which generates this in the final PPD:

*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-raster 100 rastertofoo"

The problem appears to be with the 100 value. If I drop that to 0 (which would be the correct value anyway), the "In Printer" menu item is then disabled. I'm guessing that CUPS thought there might be a less expensive route to my filter, but I'm not sure why it chose PostScript, since my PPD doesn't indicate it will take PostScript.

Thanks,
Dave
