Hello, I use the following packages: LPRng-3.8.10-1 and ifhp-3.5.7-1 (Mandrake 8.1). My printer is a 'Epson Stylus Color 600'. After reading the ifhp howto, I thought I had to include the following lines in the 'printcap' file:
:filter=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp :ifhp=model=stc600pl.upp,status@ The problem is that, with lines above, my printer doesn't work well; when I do a test with both a pdf and a ps file, I obtain very strange texts (codes), something like this: @PJL RESET @PJL JOB NAME="... ... ... Because of it I think that, after I've specified my Epson, options of the default printer are still on. �Is it true? After reading other part of the howto, I knew that I could shape my printer in other way: :filter=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp :ifhp=model=gs,gs_device=stcolor,gs_options=-r360 That is to say using the Ghostscript program directly; I don't see it well, because as you know the objetive of a filter is to hide us these steps and programs. Furthermore, when I used the 'lprngtool', it made a 'printcap' file (which doesn't work) very similar to my initial file; because of it I believe that my printer can be shaped with the next lines: :filter=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp :ifhp=model=stc600pl.upp,status@ Please, Where is my problem? I have a very similar problem with the Magicfilter. I think that it should work with the following line, but it doesn't do: :filter=/usr/sbin/printers/stylus_color_360dpi On the other hand, my printer goes fine with the Apsfilter. NOTE: I use the following 'printcap' file: Epson600|lp: :lp=/dev/lp0 :sd=/var/spool/lpd/Epson600 :lf=/var/spool/lpd/Epson600/errs :filter=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp :ifhp=model=stc600pl.upp,status@ :force_localhost :mx#0 :ff_separator@ :sh Thank you! and sorry for my horrible English (I'm from Spain, Canary islands) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
