Ok - so Ghostscript is trying to look in a bunch of Homebrew directories - and since those are owned by my user account, OS XвЂ™s sandboxing is probably blocking Ghostscript from being able to access them at print time. usr/lib/DPS/outline/base : /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 : usr/local/Cellar/ghostscript/9.26_1/share/fonts/default/TrueType : usr/local/Cellar/ghostscript/9.26_1/share/fonts/default/Type1 : usr/local/Cellar/ghostscript/9.26_1/share/fonts/default/ghostscript : usr/local/Cellar/ghostscript/9.26_1/share/ghostscript/fonts : usr/local/Cellar/ghostscript/9.26_1/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font : usr/local/Cellar/ghostscript/9.26_1/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Init : Fortunately, otool will tell us what libraries the application is linked to: If we know what libraries GhostScript depends on, we can turn them into static libraries the linker will then bundle those libraries into the application at link time.

I originally installed GhostScript via Homebrew (using brew install ghostscript). Well, step 1 was to recompile GhostScript.

SoвЂ¦I knew that there were some changes made to the printing subsystem in a previous version of Mac OS so that the printing subsystem was basically sandboxed from the rest of the system - it has to stay in its own little corner of the world and canвЂ™t access anything outside of that.

Did find:Д /usr/local/opt/libtiff/lib/libtiff.5.dylib: file system sandbox blocked stat()Д /usr/local/lib/libtiff.5.dylib: file system sandbox blocked stat() It didnвЂ™t take me long to figure out that OS X copies them into /etc/cups/ppd at the time the printer is installed:Д dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/libtiff/lib/libtiff.5.dylibД Referenced from: /usr/libexec/cups/filter/gsД Reason: no suitable image found. I knew that OS X used CUPS as the underlying print system, so I started poking around trying to find where it kept its printer definition files (PPDs).

I knew right off the bat that IвЂ™d probably need to use GhostScript, because GhostScript has a PCL driver built into it. So I wanted to see if I could find a way to send PCL data to the printer instead.

DonвЂ™t come out looking quite as sharp (especially on the text), and.

It just uses a raster driver - and raster prints:.

It doesnвЂ™t support all the options that this machine has, and.

It comes with a driver that works, technicallyвЂ¦but:

WellвЂ¦turns out that the native Mac driver prints PostScript, and this thing didnвЂ™t come with a PostScript card - so the printer just tries to print the raw PostScript.

Let Mac OS just detect and automatically install the driver.

I have a Macbook that I use for work, and I wanted to see if I could get it to work with my Mac. I recently came into possession of a Lanier MP C4502 (which is, as far as I can tell, just a re-branded Ricoh Aficio MP C4502).
