Hello:
I just graduated from NEWBIE preschool to NEWBIE kindergarten, so take my
advise for
what it's worth:
I have the same printer. After installing magicfilter & gs-aladdin, I set my
/etc/printcap thusly:
# @(#)etc.printcap 5.2 (Berkeley) 5/5/88
#
# > This file was generated by ./magicfilterconfig. <
#
lp|txt|hpdj|HP Deskjet:\
:lp=/dev/lp1:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hpdj:\
:sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\
:if=/etc/magicfilter/deskjet-filter:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
lp|dj|hpdj|HP Deskjet 682c:\
:lp=/dev/lp1:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hpdj:\
:sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\
:if=/etc/magicfilter/dj550c-filter:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
gs -q -sDEVICE=cdj550 -dBitsPerPixel=32 -r300x300 -sPAPERSIZE=a4
-dNOPAUSE-dSAFER
-sOutputFile=- -p
------------------------------------------------------
In netscape I use the command:
lpr -Pdj
to print html stuff, and
lpr -Ptxt
to print from a text editor
The line that starts with
gs -q (etc) lets the printer print in color.
I had problems using the Pdj for text only jobs, so came up with the second
entry of
Ptxt. You may not need it on your box.
I hope this helps you
John
