#Universal printer driver for mac drivers#
PostScript drivers have an accompanying PPD (PostScript Printer Description) file, which contains information about the capabilities and restrictions of your device.Īs with our PCL drivers, we have created the Generic Plus PS3 drivers to work on various Canon devices, allowing full functionality for all supported models, using the same driver. Generally, print jobs are not as efficient as they would be by using a PCL driver, however, the output is more consistent from printer to printer, as there is no variation in how data has been processed. This means that all the print data processing is completed on the computer before sending the print job to the printer.

In contrast to PCL, PostScript is a device independent printer language. This is achieved by efficiently translating a computer’s RGB (Red-Green-Blue) values into the CMYK (Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Black) values used by your device. PostScript, or PS, is a printer driver language commonly used in Mac environments and has been designed to provide a high-quality colour output.
