Printer Model Scripts

A printer model script enables a particular model of printer to provide banner and trailer pages. Trusted Extensions provides four scripts:

• tsol_standard - For directly attached PostScript printers, for example, printers attached by a parallel port

• tsol_netstandard - For network–accessible PostScript printers

• tsol_standard_foomatic - For directly attached printers that do not print PostScript format

• tsol_netstandard_foomatic - For network–accessible printers that do not print PostScript format

The foomatic scripts are used when a printer driver name begins with Foomatic. Foomatic drivers are PostScript Printer Drivers (PPD).

When you add a printer to a labeled zone, “Use PPD” is specified by default in the Print Manager. A PPD is then used to translate banner and trailer pages into the language of the printer.
