So now you only print from Windows? Certainly not OS X as it also uses CUPS...
- makomk 11y agoI believe the OS X implementation of CUPS is rather different from the standard open-source version used on Linux. In particular, if I recall correctly it uses PDF as its internal working format rather than Postscript and a completely different set of printer drivers to the Linux version.
- sitharus 11y agoNo - it is standard CUPS with some extensions to interact with the MacOS GUI. It runs the same drivers as Linux which is great for old printers or those without MacOS support. The main change when Apple purchased the project was a license change to allow proprietary drivers when running on OS X. I suspect you're getting confused with the change from NeXTSTEP to MacOS X where Display PostScript was replaced with a PDF-like system for copyright/licensing reasons.
