Being the original poster.

First thing first, no I do not know about cups, nor that they existed in Mac. I use cups for tea. ;-)

Second, I think present printing setups are there to try to do too much. Which leads to confusion. Look at picture printing, who has control? The printer (which often has settings - preset - to improve image quality), the print driver of Mac (that tries to determine page %, orientation, etc.) or the program (such as elements..).

So trying to print the most simple photograph is often a repetitve task - not eco/green-friendly on the ink/paper front.

But, next time I have tea, I'll look at the mac cups just out of curiosity.
