At my workplace, I am unable to find a printer driver for macOS which works with the printer. Instead, I'm printing through the web-interface of the printer, and I'm wondering if there's a way to automize this.
**The steps I do manually that I want to automize (all or some):**
1. Save document as .ps (works better than .pdf for this printer)
2. Go to the web address and log in to the printer
3. Drag the file I want to the browser UI
Writing a script to simulate the web login and transmission of the file is a separate problem which I think I can solve.
**My question:** Can I use this custom script (probably Pyhton) as a "printer driver" to make it show up in the list of printers and enable me to print using *cmd-p*? It would have to automatically save as .ps and then do the webb stuff.
