Mark, my suggestion is to use a PC as a print server. You can run a windows
VM on the Mac. or a RIP. or use the Gutenprint drivers, if people used
them that would get me some leverage to get code changes that would improve
them. . And stop trying to get a working print system from a company that
mainly makes iPhones and iPads.
