Nov 7, 2009 5:24 PM in response to Dunc.by Grant Bennet-Alder,lpstyl Package Description
Release Date: February, 2003
lpstyl is an open-source printer driver for Ghostscript supporting 7 Apple Stylewriter printers. On Mac OS X Jaguar and later, printing with lpstyl requires cups-o-matic (a CUPS filter script), Ghostscript (an open-source PostScript interpreter), and a foomatic PPD for each supported printer. The cups-o-matic filter and the foomatic PPDs are included in the installation package.
This package supports only serial connections. It does not support AppleTalk connections on StyleWriters equipped with that option. The driver only supports a 360 x 360 dpi resolution.
The driver communicates directly with the printer rather than going through a normal CUPS backend.
It is highly recommended that you visit the StyleWriter page written by the packager of this printer driver. It is very informative and contains information not covered on this page.
