Hi gang,
Does anybody have an ALPS printer working? I have an MD-1000
that I am trying to get working with the ALPS drivers in ghostscript.
I have verified that the cable works, by using it to drive
a deskjet, I am not getting any errors, but I don't get any output
either.
/usr/local/libexec/alpsfilter is pretty standard:
exec 3>&1 1>&2
/usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=md5k \
-sOutputFile=/dev/fd/3 - && exit 0
#
/usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=md5k \
-sOutputFile=- - && exit 0
(I tried -sDEVICE=md2k as well).
There is no indication that the printer "sees" any data - no whirring,
clanking or buzzing that these printers seem to go through. :-(
Thanks,
Bruce
