I am wrestling with the above mentioned printer, and it appears to be
winning at present.
What I am trying to do is get it to handle PDF documents. The printer, of
course, does not deal with PDF "off the shelf", so I'm trying to get things
handled with ifhp and ghostscript, wihtout much luck.
The printcap entry for the printer reads:
ACISLAser|acislaser
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/ACISLaser
:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
:tc=_lpr
"_lpr" is a generic printcap entry reading:
_lpr
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
:lf=/var/log/lpr_errs
:of=/usr/libexec/filters/ofhp
:if=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp
:vf=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp -c
The relevent parts of ifhp.conf read:
*pdf*document* ps
/usr/bin/gs -q -sDEVICE=pswrite -dNOAPSUE -sSAFER -sOutputFile=- -
This setup works for another Xerox printer on-site, but the 220ST is being a
pain.
Straight PostScript documents work. text files work. Pdf files, handled as
described here do NOT work. They dump a couple of pages of gibberish tot he
printer.
I've looked at the output of gs, anbd can find no difference between that
and the output of pdf2ps, which prints.
Any suggestions?
