I'll just paste this back in (and I've deleted the original query): --8<-------- Date: Wed, 29 Sep 1999 14:40:51 +0100 Subject: Re: HP 890C printing I use one or two extra options with my 895c, but also run it through lpr/magic-filter so you'll have to extract the parameters from my gs-aladdin filter file: # PostScript 0 %! filter /usr/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE \ -r300 -sDEVICE=hpdj -sModel=unspec -sColorMode=CMYK -sMediaType=plain \ -sPrintQuality=draft -sOutputFile=\|"cat 1>&3" - 3>&1 1>&2 0 \004%! filter /usr/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE \ -r300 -sDEVICE=hpdj -sModel=unspec -sColorMode=CMYK -sMediaType=plain \ -sPrintQuality=draft -sOutputFile=\|"cat 1>&3" - 3>&1 1>&2 # PDF 0 %PDF fpipe /usr/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE \ -r300 -sDEVICE=hpdj -sModel=unspec -sColorMode=CMYK -sMediaType=plain\ -sPrintQuality=draft -sOutputFile=\|"cat 1>&3" $FILE 3>&1 1>&2 I find the dj550c filter suggested earlier is far too inky. Change draft to normal or best (and set up two queues) if you find draft is *too* light. The last saves a lot of ink, though. (One day I'll sit down and try to parse all that output redirection!)
