I have a big networed workgroup printer (Canon iR C2380i) with several feeders for different paper types (A4 recycled, A4 normal, A3 ... ). In order to make use of this features under OSX you need to install some drivers from Canon. I have my OSX Server setup to use this printer and all of it's features. I can print from my server.
Now i would like share the printer from the server without the need to install the driver software on all the clients. But if i just share it via the standard print sharing feature of OSX and connect to it from a client, the client only can use it in generic mode just if it would connect directly to the printer without the driver.
So i think i need something like different queues set up on the OSX Server for example: A4-Queue-grey A4-Queue-colour A3-Queue-grey A3-Queue-colour ...
and than somehow match those onto the working setup of the printer on the Server. But i am a bit lost on how to achieve that. Of course the whole thing works with CUPS, do if somebody knows howto do this in CUPS on any system please explain, too.
Cheers, Stephan
