Content feedback is currently offline for maintenance. This setting lets Illustrator know whether the printer can print in color, the paper size it can handle, and its resolution, as well as many other important details. You can connect your printer physically to a Chromebook using a USB cable.

Double-click the [Mac OS 8 and 9] folder. Double-click the [Printer Descriptions] folder. Double-click the folder of the language you are using. Open the [DISK1] folder. Remember the naming conventions and keep to eight characters or less for the file name. Google Cloud Print will be deprecated in December Before the end of , we recommend that you find an alternative printing solution for your Chromebook.

On January 1, , Google Cloud Print will no longer be supported and devices across all operating systems will not be able to print using Google Cloud Print. If the computer cannot recognize the driver or function with it, you will not be able to access your printer and use it to print jobs. Make sure printing is enabled and the print spooler is clear on your Android smartphone or tablet.

Open Settings on your mobile device, tap Connected devices or Connections, and then tap Printing. Thus, uninstalling your current driver and installing a new printer driver instead should help you get rid of the error. Right-click on your printer and select Uninstall device.

This macOS keyword defines a program that sets the default option choices. It is run when a printer is added from the Add Printer window or the Nearby Printers list in the Print dialog.

The program must write an updated PPD file to stdout. OID MainKeyword : ". The first query line defines the OID to lookup on the network device. The second and subsequent keywords define a mapping from OID value to option keyword.

CUPS supports three types of color profiles. This will be addressed as time and resources permit. This string keyword specifies an sRGB-based color profile consisting of gamma and density controls and a 3x3 CMY color transform matrix.

This keyword is not supported on macOS. The Resolution and MediaType values may be "-" to act as a wildcard. The density and gamma values define gamma and density adjustment function such that:. The m00 through m22 values define a 3x3 transformation matrix for the CMY color values. The density function is applied after the CMY transformation:. This keyword specifies an ICC color profile that is used to convert the document colors to the device colorspace. If omitted, the color profile will match any option keyword for the corresponding main keyword.

The Description specifies human-readable text that is associated with the color profile. The ColorModel , MediaType , and Resolution main keywords can be reassigned to different main keywords, allowing drivers to do color profile selection based on different parameters.

These keywords tell the macOS raster filters that the printer driver provides its own custom color matching and that generic color profiles should be used when generating 1-, 3-, and 4-component raster data as requested by the driver. Prior to macOS The new default in macOS For more information, see "macOS v This keyword defines an alternate name for the color matching provided by a driver in the Color Matching print panel.

The default is to use the name "Vendor Matching" or its localized equivalent. This keyword defines a supported RGB color profile that can be used when doing custom color matching. If you provide multiple APCustomColorMatchingProfile keywords, you are responsible for providing the necessary user interface controls to select the profile in a print dialog pane.

This keyword defines the default RGB color profile that will be used when doing custom color matching. This keyword specifies that the driver provides its own custom color matching. Constraints are option choices that are not allowed by the driver or device, for example printing 2-sided transparencies.

While nearly all constraints can be expressed using these keywords, there are valid scenarios requiring constraints between more than two option choices.

In addition, resolution of constraints is problematic since users and software have to guess how a particular constraint is best resolved. CUPS 1. Each cupsUIConstraints keyword points to a cupsUIResolver keyword which specifies alternate options that resolve the conflict condition. When developing PPD files that contain constraints, it is very important to use the cupstestppd 1 program to verify that your constraints are accurate and cannot result in unresolvable option selections.

Lists two or more options which conflict. The "resolver" string is a possibly unique keyword which specifies which options to change when the constraint exists. When no resolver is provided, CUPS first tries the default choice followed by testing each option choice to resolve the conflict. The "resolver" string identifies a particular action to take for one or more cupsUIConstraints. The same action can be used for multiple constraints. The option keyword pairs are treated as an ordered list of option selections to try - only the first N selections will be used, where N is the minimum number of selections required.

Because cupsResolveConflicts will not change the most recent option selection passed to it, at least two options from the constraints must be listed to avoid situations where conflicts cannot be resolved. In addition, requiring the base translation strings to be in English allows for easier fallback translation when no localization is provided in the PPD file for a given locale.

For non- JCLSetup options, the "order" value is a number from 1 to N and specifies the order of values as they are placed on the stack before the command. For CUPS raster drivers, you use a subset of the PostScript language to set page device keywords such as page size, resolution, and so forth.

For example, the following code sets the page size to A4 size:.
