Hi,
we now have a really nice Xerox 6250dt, and I'm trying to get it to work
with LPRng-3.8.26, ifhp-3.5.17 and foomatic-rip-3.46.
I installed the ppd file from the driver cd and checked with
foomatic-rip -d --ppd ppd/XEROX_6250DT.ppd
Everything looks ok.
Next I added to ifhp.conf:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
[ xerox6250dt ]
appsocket
pjl@
pcl
ps
foomatic_rip=/usr/local/bin/foomatic-rip --lprng --ppd \%s{ppd_file}
\%s{ARGV}
ppd_file=/etc/opt/LPRng/ppd/XEROX_6250DT.ppd
forceconversion
file_output_match = [
*pcl* raw
*postscript* raw \%s{foomatic_rip}
*text* filter \%s{a2ps_converter}
*pdf* filter \%s{pdf2ps_converter}
*jpeg* filter \%s{jpeg_converter}
*tex_dvi* filter \%s{dvips}
*gzip_compressed* filter \%s{gzip_decompress}
*compress'd_data* filter \%s{gzip_decompress}
* msg no_converter
]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
finally I tried everything, but it didn't work as expected.
Here my test script:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
rm -f /tmp/t
touch /tmp/t
Z="-ZDuplex=DuplexNoTumble,InputSlot=Tray1"
ifhp=model=xerox6250dt
ifhp ${Z} -Tdev=/tmp/t,trace,debug=1,${ifhp} \
< /tmp/test.ps 2>&1 | tee /tmp/trace.out
----------------------------------------------------------------------
test.ps is just:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
/Courier
findfont 10 scalefont setfont
72 500 moveto
(just a simple test) show
showpage
----------------------------------------------------------------------
and the final output of foomatic-rip is:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%BeginProlog
%%EndProlog
%%BeginSetup
%%EndSetup
%%BeginPageSetup
%%EndPageSetup
/Courier
findfont 10 scalefont setfont
72 500 moveto
(just a simple test) show
showpage
----------------------------------------------------------------------
foomatic-rip has added some stuff, but not what I expected :-(
foomatic-rip has found the options correct:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
'CONVERTER' msg 'Spooler: lprng'
'CONVERTER' msg 'Printer: '
'CONVERTER' msg 'PPD file: /etc/opt/LPRng/ppd/XEROX_6250DT.ppd'
'CONVERTER' msg 'Printer model: Xerox Phaser 6250DT'
'CONVERTER' msg 'Options: Duplex=DuplexNoTumble InputSlot=Tray1 '
'CONVERTER' msg 'Job title: '
'CONVERTER' msg 'File(s) to be printed: <STDIN>'
'CONVERTER' msg 'Pondering option 'Duplex=DuplexNoTumble''
'CONVERTER' msg 'Pondering option 'InputSlot=Tray1''
----------------------------------------------------------------------
hopefully someone can tell me what's going wrong here. Do I have a
wrong configuration?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Willi
