Hello!
I have successfully compiled and integrated sources of gimp-print-4.20, jpeg-6b,
zlib-1.1.4, libpng-1.0.2, GS font files, and ghostscript-6.52 to give the "stp"
driver. The GS for tiger.ps etc works fine for Ghostview but the output cannot
be redirected to the c80 printer. The CUPS install of the c80 printer works
properly with cat <text or binary file> > /dev/bpp0
I have been trying to adapt the filter script and printcap entry used
on Linux (fredrick /http://acd.ucar.edu/~fredrick/linux/epson.html) without
success on Solaris 8 CUPS. The linux filter used by Fredrick for LPR spooling
was /usr/local/bin/epson_filter_c80:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/gs -sDEVICE=stp -sModel=escp2-c80 -sMediaType='Inkjet Paper' \
-sQuality='720 DPI High Quality' -q -sOutputFile=\|"cat 1>&3" - 3>&1 1>&2
I am mystified where the "escp2-c80 Model comes from.
and the LPR printcap entry was:
.common:
:sh:
# :sf:
:mc=0:
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P:
:lf=log:
:af=acct:
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
:mx=0:
# --------- Tim Fredrick's Printer -------network printer (omit)--------------
epsontf:force_localhost
epsontf:server colon files
:tc=.common
:lp=etf@localhost
:lpd_bounce
:filter=/usr/local/bin/epson_filter_c80
epsontft:force_localhost
epsontft:server
:tc=.common
:lp=etf@localhost
:lpd_bounce
:filter=/usr/local/bin/epson_filter_c80_transparency
etf:force_localhost
etf:server
:tc=.common
:lp=P1@epsontf.acd.ucar.edu
________________________
Fredrick's linux system tested successfully with:
"setting $PRINTER to "etf" and getting a small postscript file, tst.ps:
cat tst.ps | /usr/local/bin/gs -sDEVICE=stp -sModel=escp2-c80 -q
-sOutputFile=tst.esc2 ; lpr -b etf
Looked good for the default resolution. Now tried the "epsontf" queue. Did an
"export PRINTER=epsontf" and
then "lpr -b tiger.ps""
I have no success with a comparable Solaris8/CUPS installation.
I will appreciate hearing from Solaris users who have got something like
this to work.
Many thanks,
Don Parsons
