I am developing a mac app which calls cups at back end to add printer based on IP address. I dont know any info about the printer except the IP Address. So using cups API I was able to add printer after I linked it to generic Apple PPD. I had to link it to generic one as I dont know what ppd to choose and from where as I dint have much info about the printer user wants to add. so using this I was able to print perfectly fine on HP laserjet printers. My question is will this generic PPD work with any printer in the enviroment? Also I dont specify anything about printer driver, so I am using cups is intelligent enought to figure out on its own right?
Thanks,
Azuri
