Hallo Hendrik,

as you mentioned "driverless" earlier in this thread: I remember, that
"driverless printing" had been mentioned in some de[bi|vu]an release
notes not too long ago - and indeed, a quick websearch confirms, that
printing /with/ a driver is even considered as "deprecated" for cups:

BTW, many printers accept a simple netcat'ed pdf at port 9100:

$ nc '$hostname' 9100 < file.pdf

libre Grüße,
Florian
