Environment

Novell iPrint for Linux

Situation

Clicking the "Add From File" button within the iManager -> iPrint -> Manage Driver Store -> Drivers -> Mac page does not allow the ability to select Mac PDE drivers.  PPD driver types are the only type allowed.

Resolution

Novell is evaluating if/when the upload of PDEs will be supported. 

Status

Reported to Engineering

Additional Information

Print Dialog Extensions (PDEs) are a driver format which provides a way to add controls to the print dialog in Mac OS X.  PPDs are the more common printer driver format.  PPDs are support by iPrint.
