Hi Jeff,

Nearly all the printers you listed (maybe except some HP printers which then would be serviced by the philip package)
support, among other PDLs, PostScript level 3.
As the pdftops filter (tested on Linux) properly processes the %%PDFTOPDF… comments, it seems obvious to change
the printer’s filter chan to PostScript by the PPD statement:
*cupsFilter: „application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 -„
to end up with a PostScript stream.

BUT, there still is an issue: as the pdftopdf filter issues the comment
%%PDFTOPDFCollate : false
the pdftops filter generates a PostScript stream that produces uncollated copies.
to solve that, the printer’s PPD need to have a statement
*DefaultCollate: true
(probably within a finishings block).

Helge
