There is no 'Postscript' option like there should be [see (a) Readme file @ http://cups-pdf.de, and (b) http://www.math.colostate.edu/~reinholz/freebsd/cups-pdf.html) model: Generic-CUPS-PDF printer. #more not-so-good. There is no 'color Postscript' option like there should be. So I tried to set the PPD file manually: lpadmin -p server_PDF -P /usr/local/share/cups/model/CUPS-PDF.ppd No luck and running out of ideas. Help. Cam
