<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
<B>driverless</B> generates PPD files for printers which are designed
|
|
for driverless IPP printing (currently IPP Everywhere, AirPrint,
|
|
Mopria, and Wi-Fi-Direct printers, network printers and also
|
|
IPP-over-USB printers with the help of <A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?8+ippusbxd">ippusbxd</A>(8)) by polling
|
|
capability information from the printers via IPP. it can be either
|
|
called for listing suitable printers in the network and for actually
|
|
generating the PPD. It can also be called by CUPS when CUPS is listing
|
|
available PPDs/drivers or creating print queues, making the setup of
|
|
driverless printers with printer setup tools transparently working.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
driverless is placed in /usr/lib/cups/driver/ for listing available
|
|
driverless-capable printers and generating PPDs for them. It should
|
|
also be put in /usr/lib/cups/backend/ (preferably by a symbolic link)
|
|
to list IPP device URIs for suitable printers. Printer setup tools
|
|
like system-config-printer, the CUPS web interface at
|
|
<A HREF="http://localhost:631/,">http://localhost:631/,</A> and CUPS' command line utilities can use
|
|
driverless with CUPS to list available driverless-capable printers,
|
|
determine their IPP device URIs and generate PPDs for them. The
|
|
printers will be automatically and correctly set up for driverless
|
|
printing. Note that driverless printing requires IPP communication
|
|
with the printer.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
A second symbolic link to /usr/lib/cups/driver/driverless from
|
|
/usr/bin/ allows driverless to be called directly by a user.
