Hi Ryan,
I sent a patch to the list for sending raw HPGL/2 files to IFHP
connected plotters, I'd assume your using this patch? - If so, I'm very
glad to hear its working for you :-)
As for PS, which file are you reading the first line from? IFHP doesn't
change any of the PostScript headers, it sends the file as-is with a bit
of PJL header code, at least for the 755cm plotters! You can check this
with the following command:
cat postscriptfile.ps | ifhp -Tmodel=hpdj755cm,trace > output.prn
and then check out the headers at the top of output.prn.
BTW, my ifhp.conf file with HPGL/2 patch for this plotter is:
------------------------------- CUT
[ hpdj230 hpdj250c hpdj330 hpdj350c hpdj430 hpdj450c hpdj455ca hpdj700
hpdj750c hpdj750cplus hpdj755cm hpdj2000cp ]
## These printers should support HPGL2
hpgl2
pjl_only=[
COMMENT ECHO ENTER EOJ
INFO RESET SET
USTATUS USTATUSOFF
]
pjl_ustatus=
@PJL USTATUSOFF
@PJL USTATUS DEVICE = ON
@PJL USTATUS TIMED = 10
--------------------------- END CUT
Hope this helps,
cheers,
sam
