Mac/Unix Printing
Version A4
Method #2 – Direct Printing from Mac application to the KIP IPS
In this method, the operator will use the Macintosh systems built-in Postscript output to transmit
Postscript data via LPD/LPR to a specific queue name located on the IPS. The Macintosh system
can generate large format page sizes based on reading the page sizes from the KIP PPD (Postscript
Printer Definition File). Each queue name on the IPS can be strictly setup for a series of parameters:
 Copy Count
 Percentage/Force Size
 Color/ Monochrome
The setup process will require an admin or technician to access the KIP IPS and also the
knowledge of adding the KIP PPD to the Mac system. Each LPD/LPR Queue can contain 1 set of
print parameters configured by the admin and cannot be altered from the Macintosh based
system prior to printing. Note: this is the least flexible method of printing but it does allow direct
printing from the application. Note: for the KIP Color systems – it is necessary to purchase both
the “KIP PDF/PS” option for Postscript printing and the “KIP Connectivity Package” option
keycodes (KIP Item # DIGMACLPR-C7800) that supports LPD/LPR based printing.
Setup overview
MAC – setup the Mac system with KIP PPD and point it to an LPD/LPR Printer to the KIP IP address
and Queue name such as KIP, IPS, IPS1, IPS2, or IPS3.
KIP IPS (at the printer) – configure the Print Parameters for LPD/LPR Queue names: KIP, IPS, IPS1, IPS2,
or IPS3.
Printing overview
Mac – print to the Mac printer object configured for one of the Queue names.
KIP IPS (at the printer) – by reading the LPD/LPR Queue name in the header, the IPS will
automatically use the configured Print Parameters to convert and print the PS data coming from the
Mac system.
