Thank you for this very informed response. Sounds like I will not be
able to do anything about here. The PPD I am using is telling InDesign
that it wants to use Binary but as you stated it must have been
disabled by Adobe.
Odd, since Adobe will allow Binary in other apps. using this same PPD.
It isn't clear to me that Adobe applications even check with the PPD
for making a binary/ascii choice. Photoshop defaults to printing
binary, even in situations where fails miserably. InDesign, as I
understand it, is hardwired (on MacOS X) to ascii only, even in the
situations where binary would work just fine. And the CUPS printing
system is the ideal spot to fix the situation where binary printing
fails (by applying a TBCP encoding), but as configured by Apple, it
doesn't do this for Adobe applications that generate PICT wrapped
PostScript.
In any case, even if CUPS is configured to make binary printing work,
InDesign will still need an update to recognize the new state of the
world and allow binary printing.
