But this is far away from usability of this port (disabling the SIP includes booting in recovery mode). ---- Main issue: Anyway, the rootless/sandbox feature of El Capitan denies Cups seeing this ""printer"". Measures done without success (single action and/or in different combination): 1. Correction of permissions {{{ # chown -R root:wheel /opt/local/libexec/cups/ # chown -R root:wheel /opt/local/share/cups/model }}} 2. Circumvent linkage {{{ # cp /opt/local/libexec/cups/backend/cups-pdf /usr/libexec/cups/backend/ # cp /opt/local/share/cups/model/CUPS-PDF.ppd /usr/share/cups/model/ }}} 3. Relaxing Cups {{{ $ grep Sandbox /etc/cups/cups-files.conf Sandboxing relaxed }}} 4. Disabling SIP {{{ # csrutil disable }}} ---- Solution: UNKNOWN " defect new Normal ports 2.3.4 elcapitan sierra cups-pdf
