Before the advent of the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS), a particular printer needed a driver ... If you are using standard USB print, there should have no problem for the printing and no problem to add the PnP info to the *1284DeviceID in the PPD for the device discovery.

Greetings, I just subscribed. I may get a contract to write a macOS driver for a USB printer. Is there any documentation or sample code for this? I plan to buy Michael Sweet's "CUPS: Common UNIX Printing System" but I need to find a bookstore that has it in stock or could order it, and that accepts PayPal. (Powells in Portland, Oregon accepts PayPal but is unable to order it.) Alternatively, perhaps one of you right chaps could sell me your copy and I would pay you with PayPal. My plan is to write a prototype on Linux then port it to macOS. I need to know what is different or special about macOS printer drivers. Somewhere I found the advice that one should contact Apple Developer Technical Support before starting work. Would I need to use a Support Incident to do so? Or do I really need their help? I'm quite an experienced Mac developer. I have lots of experience with Postscript and with PCL. I've written some SCSI scanner drivers, but my USB experience is only with storage.
