I have an Epson Stylus Photo 2200 connected via usb that can print anything but adobe files. I also have a tektronix phaser 8200 connected via usb as well. it's a post script printer. when i send it a command like 'lp -d Phaser Example.ps' it just spit out garbage (that's the linux or osx box too).
I'm not sure what is going on. If it was ghostscript, then the tektronix phaser would be able to print the postscript file correctly since it was a postscript printer(right?) and not the epson. but neither can print PS or interept data sent to it from a remost host sending it Adobefiles to be wrapped in PS. When this happens, the MacOS X box reports that 'client-document-format-not-supported.'
Is it cups? Any ideas, at all? :/
The setup is A Gentoo Linux Box with ESP Ghostscript 7.05.6, CUPS 1.1.19, Gimp-print 4.3.20 (for the epson) and tk8200dp.ppd for the phaser8200. I have checked the ppd on the http://www.cups.org/testppd.php webpage and it says PASS, but it just won't print. I'm at a loss. help, please.
Applicable Products
If you have a non PostScript Designjet printer, the Apple Software Update application will launch allowing you to install the new driver for your printer. Note: If you are using or sharing a printer that is connected directly to an Apple Airport with a USB or Ethernet cable, these printer queues will NOT be recreated. Hi, I can't seem to install PostScript drivers in Illustrator CC. I keep getting 'The selected PPD is either invalid or corrupted.' I'm getting the driver from here: Adobe - PostScript printer drivers: For Macintosh I need to save out a custom size PostScript file so I can get color separation.

Symptoms or Error
Client printers on Mac and Linux clients fail to be created in XenApp and XenDesktop sessions running on Windows 10, Server 2012 R2, and Server 2016 when configured to use the Citrix Universal Printer Driver (UPD).
Printer Postscript For Mac Shortcut
Solution
Install the “HP Color LaserJet 2800 Series PS” driver on the Windows image manually
On the Windows VDA, choose Print server properties from Devices and Printers or run rundll32 PrintUI.dll,PrintUIEntry /s.
Click on the Drivers tab and then click Add....
In the Add Printer Driver Wizard window click Next, then Next and then select the required HP driver.
Note: If the driver is not listed click Windows Update. If you don't see it after Windows Update is clicked, go to Microsoft update catalogue and search for HP LaserJet 2800. Pick the 6.1.7600.16385 driver version. Extract the driver, click Have Disk in the screenshot above and point to the drivers extracted location.
Important Note: If you extract the contents of the driver cab file using Windows Explorer the folder structure may not be retained and the driver installation may encounter an error. To avoid this use a more robust extraction tool such as WinRar or 7zip.
Click Next, then Finish.
The printer driver should then be listed in the Installed printer drivers. Click Close.
Problem Cause
Postscript Printer Driver Free Download
Citrix UPD requires the use of the PostScript data format to support client printing on Mac and Linux clients. To achieve this, Citrix leverages PostScript driver developed by HP. The version of this HP driver, that Microsoft had previously built into the Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 operating systems, is no longer included with Windows 10, Server 2012 R2, or Server 2016. Because of this missing driver, client-printers on Mac and Linux endpoints fail to be created in the XenApp and XenDesktop session.
