printer HP 870cxi setting ? (Yoram Benchetrit)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: yoramb@PROBLEM_WITH_INEWS_GATEWAY_FILE (Yoram Benchetrit)
Subject: printer HP 870cxi setting ?
Date: 22 Mar 1999 09:28:19 GMT
Hi,
When I print a file with my printer HP 870Cxi I get,
'Unkown device: cdj850'
I have installed ghostscript 5.50 which is supposed to
contain the driver cdj850 for HP870cxi. But when I type
gs --help I cannot see this driver in the list section,
I dont know if the driver is really missing, or if the
available driver section of gs --help is not updated ?
If the driver is missing from gs, where can I find it
and how to install it for having it available in gs ?
(Do I need to compile and link gs with this driver?)
If the driver is not missing from gs, what else must
I do to be able printing against HP870cxi ?
I have installed apsfilter-4.9.9 to have /etc/printcap
edited with the appropriate entry for this printer, and
have the filter used by the printer (entry 'if' in /etc/printcap)
in the corresponding place on disk.
>From my understanding, when I issue a lpr command,
the corresponding entry for my printer is read in /etc/printcap
where we find the filter to used which in turn called gs
that is supposed to contain the driver cdj850 to print the file.
I have attached gs --help output which does not list cdj850,
/etc/printcap and the filter used.
I cant see what I am missing and I am stuck,
could someone please help?
Thank you in advance,
Yoram
