OSX printer paper

Cups uses the pcpds file to configure the function of each printer. You can modify the ppds file to perform special configuration for each printer. Here is an example.

By default, each printer supports several types of paper types and sizes, which may be very long and inconvenient for users to choose. You can shorten the list by modifying the pcpds file.

Find * defapappaperdimension, which is followed by the definition and description of each paper size supported by the lock, and supports the text description of each language. You only need to add a % before the unwanted paper type.

For example

* % Paperdimension executor/executive: "522 756"

* % Paperdimension halfletter/statement: "396 612"

* % Paperdimension B5/JIS B5: "516 729"

After the change

After the change, you can use cupstestppd to check the pcpds file.

Add custom paper. One way is to allow the user to define it on the print interface, but it is valid for the current user (of course, it can also be published to other users, or it can be used for local login users, see COM. apple. print. custompapers file), or change ppdss so that the local machine can be globally valid, you need to add the following information when adding

* Paperdimension letter/letter: "612 792"

* Pagesize letter/letter :"

* Pageregion letter/letter :"

* Imageablearea letter/letter:
