Toshiba e-Studio 165/205 User Manual

Installing Client Software for UNIX    137

Please refer to following instructions for configuring printing systems on UNIX workstations.
To setup the printing system on UNIX workstation, you can use CUPS.

When you want to configure the UNIX printing using CUPS, you can use LPR printing or IPP 
printing.

This section describes the behavior, options, and installation method of the CUPS printer driver 
for the equipment.  The behavior of the printer driver presented in this specification is consistent 
with CUPS v1.1.15.  The driver may appear and/or operate slightly differently in the different ver-
sions.

In reality, the file supplied in this package is not really a printer driver it is actually a PostScript 
Printer Description (PPD) file.

Operating systems that support CUPS.

This driver consists of a PPD file that works in conjunction with an interface like XPP, KPrinter, 
etc.  It can also be used on OSX in the same way that it is used on Linux, but this is not recom-
mended.

There is one supplied component, a PPD file called “TOSHIBA_EST205_CUPS.gz”.  It has been 
compressed using gzip. It does not need to be uncompressed for Linux to use the PPD file and 
so it should be left compressed.

The user needs root privileges to place the PPD file in the default location. The default location 
for the standard CUPS PPD files is:
/usr/share/cups/model/Toshiba

You can configure the CUPS for LPR printing or IPP printing.

The PPD must first be copied onto the local machine, the printer installed, and then the PPD 
configured. The printer is then installed and configured using CUPS via the browser.
