Ok, I'm replying to my own post. I installed magicfilter, and set it up
for dj500c. This then worked for everything except plain text. I
changed the 'default' line at the bottom of
/etc/magicfilter/dj500c-filter from 'filter /usr/bin/djscript -q'
to 'filter /etc/filter.pcl'
and everything was rosy. The one thing I would still like to know, is
how to change the font size for plain text. Ideally, I would like to
get two pages onto one (sideways). Another thing I was wondering about
is that the /etc/magicfilter/dj500c-filter' file has the comment:
# Magic filter setup file for HP DeskJet 500 series color
# printers with only CMY cartridge installed.
and my printer has black & CMY cartridges. Is the filter using the
colour cartridge to make black, and if so, how do I fix this?
Thanks
Rich
