Everyone, I apologize for posting this again, it looks like I am not getting any takers on this problem.
If any of you can direct me as to where to look for a solution I would greatly appreciate it. gimp has been a wonderful tool for me to be able to create pcl macros for hp type printers, and I have many forms that I store as pcl macros of a document that are then merge with data to on the fly; all of these are in black and white. We purchased some color printers, and now I would like to create 'color' forms stored as macro commands in hp pcl5 printers. I would surely appreciate anyone's help in making this happen. -- Greg Ennis -----Original Message----- From: Gregory P.

I have done this easily to create a black & white *.pcl file, but have not found a way to create a file that contains the 'color' commands for an HP laser printer. I am running Centos 7.5 with all of the latest updates. gutenprint- 5.2.9-18.el7.x86_64 is the current version in the Centos repositories While using the gutenprint plugin within gimp I am allowed to select from a list of HP color printers : HP Color LaserJet 2500 HP Color LaserJet 4500 HP Color LaserJet 4550 HP Color LaserJet 4600 HP Color LaserJet 5 HP Color LaserJet 5000 HP Color LaserJet 5500 HP Color LaserJet 8550GM But when I use any of these I am not allowed to select 'Color' on the output tab. I have tried to use other drivers like 'HP DesignJet 450C' and am able to select color options without a problem and to produce a color *.pcl file, but the file created obviously does not work on a hp color laser printer. I tried installing gutenprint 5.3.1 from https://sourceforge.net/projec ts/gimp-print/files/gutenprint-5.3/5.3.1/ , and things seem to go well, but I have little experience with the process, and after the installation and reboot there were no differences with the use of the HP Color LaserJet drivers. I would like to be able to create a color *.pcl file for an HP Laser printer; if any of you have suggestions as to how to do this with gimp or even cups I would sure appreciate your help. I originally posted this note on the Centos User's list, but got no response. After thinking about things I really should have posted it here. Thank you ahead of time for your help -- Greg Ennis _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
