Hi ! Browsed through the Debian mailinglist archive concerning apsfilter. Interesting ;-) Concerning your question ...
apsfilter 5.4.1 will support gs 6.01 + hpdj driver + additional 3rd party driver from internet. Using anonymous cvs you are able to checkout a -current snapshot of my developement work, which will become 5.4.1 soon. See: http://www.freebsd.org/~andreas There you can find informations in the "News" and "apsfilter" section, how you can checkout the current apsfilter sources using remote cvs. You need to have cvs (concurrent version system) for that purpose. Otherwise please wait for the next upcoming release. See the list of supported drivers using my CVS repository browser: http://www.cosmo-project.de/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/apsfilter/setup/printer-6.01? rev=1.7&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup BTW, best would be to contact the Debian Port Maintainer of the gs port (I put him on Cc:) to perhaps include the same 3rd party driver as I did for the FreeBSD port, to be generally in sync with apsfilters printer list. This is a complete list of gs 6.01 supported printer + additional compiled in 3rd party driver, see below ... Additionally he could add the contributed uniprint driver profiles, I got from users (which are additionally distributed with apsfilter and simply can be copied into gs libdir) Maybe it would be an advantage, if Matej could take over maintainership of the gs port. My experience as owner of gs and apsfilter port in FreeBSD is, that "it%s a good thing (tm)". So apsfilter and gs are in sync. But that%s only a proposal. It%s not necessarily needed. Look at the URLs in the Makefile, to see, what additional things I added t FreeBSDs gs 6.01 port: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/print/ghostscript6/Makefile?rev=1.48 In short: # Additional Drivers: # http://www.proaxis.com/~mgelhaus/linux/software/hp880c/hp880c.html HP8XX_DRV= gdevcd8.tar.gz # HPDJ, additional driver for HP PCL3 Printers, by Martin Lottermoser # ftp://ftp.sbs.de/pub/graphics/ghostscript/pcl3/pcl3.html HPDJ_DRV= hpdj-2.6.tar.gz # contributed uniprint profiles CONTRIB_UPP= lqx70ch.upp lqx70cl.upp lqx70cm.upp \ stc740ih.upp stc740p.upp stc740pl.upp Before my holiday (next week) I will have the new release out. One major feature (it has lots) will be, that you can choose printer driver specific options via lpr%s -C option, i.e.: lpr -C glossy:high:present file (use glossy paper, high resolution, presentation quality) bin/apsfilter can easily be edited, to add further driver specific options, I possibly forgot to add. BTW, Matej Vela, Debians apsfilter port maintainer has joined the apsfilter developement team yesterday. I hope that we%ll do a fine job for you all now and in the future ! Andreas ///
