I have a linotronic 560 and i can see the printer over IP from the 0S9 rip on the OS X station. Does anyone have or know where i can get PPD print drivers. Will the generic postscript driver work.
I would like to transfer to OSX only. Have all except Quark. It is coming i see.
Have a great day!

See:

I checked and the 560 is definitely supported.

I really just need the PPD files for the OSX machine. I have a RIP already attached to the Linotronic. Dont really need the printserver part. this link was helpful and I may need it in the future. I have one Mac (OSX) to print to Linotronic with a Mac 7100, OS 7.5.5 rip on it.
Have a great day!

Don't you have the PPD file on the Mac OS Classic machines?

A PPD file is a PPD file - just use the one you have.
