Foomatic-RIP is an internal component of the Foomatic runtime printing system. It may be included with the Mac OS X driver package available for download from this website. Please check the Downloads section for the driver package you want.

It should be listed as a separate download if it is not included with the driver package. If there is no Mac OS X package for the driver you need, you will have to download it separately. To determine if your printer is supported, check the for your manufacturer and model. If your printer model is listed in the database then the model description page will list the compatible free software printer drivers and the degree of compatibility (whether the printer works “perfectly”, “mostly”, “partially”, or is a “paperweight”). In the case when more than one driver is compatible with a particular printer model, the recommended driver is listed first, with any remaining drivers listed in order of decreasing compatibility and performance. In the case where no compatible printer driver is known to exist the model is classified as a “paperweight”.

In this case, you will need to contact the printer model manufacturer for support. Once you have identified a compatible driver, the next step is to determine the driver's “Execution style”. The execution style of a driver can be found on the driver description page (which is different from the driver home page or web page); click the name of the driver to go to its description page. Additionally, the execution style for every driver is listed parenthetically on the. If you see “Execution style: Filter” then the odds are high that you will need to use an existing package installer, such as for the, or, in the case that no such package exists, you will need to download the source for the driver and compile it yourself (although doing so might be considered an “advanced maneuver” for the typical Mac user).

A third alternative would be to post a request for the driver to the, although this approach is not guaranteed to receive a timely response. If you see “Execution style: Ghostscript” or “Execution style: Ghostscript Uniprint” then use the following guide to install your new printer driver: •. Download free plainstat for mac.
