This allows printing to a CUPS server. http://www.smedley.info/os2ports/ For more information on CUPS see http://svn.netlabs.org/ecups/wiki/WikiStart Download from http://download.smedley.info/cupsportdriver-20080628.zip Unzip and put cups.pdr into x:\os2\dll and cupslpr.exe into x:\tcpip\bin - also needs libc064x.dll from http://download.smedley.info/libc064x.zip Go to printer object, install new port - specify x:\os2\dll and choose CUPS1 (if it's the first CUPS printer being added) Specify the hostname/IP of the CUPS server and the name of the print queue on that print server Try printing a file using pscript.drv with the appropriate PPD file imported into it! Please let Paul know if you find this software useful. He needs user feedback to continue work on these projects.
