OSX打印机纸张

cups使用PPDS文件来对每个打印机进行功能配置设定。用户可以通过修改PPDs文件来对每个打印机进行特殊配置。这里是一个例子。

每个打印机默认地支持若干的类型的纸张类型和大小，可能很长，在用户选择的时候会不太方便，那么可以通过修改PPDs文件来把这个列表缩短。

找到*DefaultPaperDimension,后面是锁支持的每个纸张大小的定义和说明，而且支持每种语言自己的文字说明。只要是在不需要的纸张类型前面加一个%，就可以了。

比如

*%PaperDimension Executive/Executive: "522 756"

*%PaperDimension HalfLetter/Statement:"396 612"

*%PaperDimension B5/JIS B5: "516 729"

......

变更前的

变更后的

变更后可以使用cupstestppd对该PPDs文件进行检测。

添加自定义的纸张，一种方法，让用户在打印界面中自己定义但是是当前用户有效（当然也可以发布给其它用户，也可以做到本机登录用户有效， 参见com.apple.print.custompapers文件），或者变更PPDs这样可以本机全局有效，添加的时候，需要添加如下的信息

*PaperDimension Letter/Letter: "612 792"

*PageSize Letter/Letter: "

*PageRegion Letter/Letter: "

*ImageableArea Letter/Letter:
