Last week I installed RH4.0 after having run various Slackware distributions
for the last couple of years. I have run into a problem printing.
I am using a DeskJet 540. I installed the printer filter using printtool.
The first problem I ran into was that when I tried to print, I got an error
message telling me that the printer "Postscript" could not be found. I added
that name to the filter for the printer, and then was able to get some output,
but the fonts were smeared and illegible. I then read the Errata page and
upgraded the fonts to version 4.02.
The packages currently installed are:
ghostscript-3.33-2
ghostscript-fonts-4.0-2
nenscript-1.13++-5
My printer filter looks like:
#!/bin/sh
DEVICE=lp|deskjet|PostScript
RESOLUTION=300x300
PAPERSIZE=letter
SENDEOF=
nenscript -TUS -ZB -p- |
if [ "$DEVICE" = "PostScript" ]; then
cat -
else
gs -q -sDEVICE=$DEVICE \
-r$RESOLUTION \
-sPAPERSIZE=$PAPERSIZE \
-dNOPAUSE \
-dSAFER \
-sOutputFile=- -
fi
if [ "$SENDEOF" != "" ]; then
printf "\004"
fi
exit 0
Any ideas? I could ditch the nenscript setup and just go with MagicFilter or
APS, but I've been screwing with this for a few days now and I'd like to make
this work if I can...
Thanks!
Wes
