Dear All,
I would like to bring to your attention that the driver hl1250 is missing
from the
Ghostscript 8.60. It has been removed since Ghostscript 6.xx.
The driver happens to support a slue of the brand new Brother monochromatic
laser printers
See:
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/developers.html
and should be compiled into Ghostscript 8.xx or 7.xx for those who must use
7.xx.
This is a well documented problem and the solution is very simple
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=hl1250
Nobody is listed as a port maintainer so I am brining the issue before the
port list.
I am typing this message from the 4.2 Release so I have not checked the
following:
1. The ghostscript port should be updated to 8.61 which is minor new
release that fixes bugs.
2. I am not sure that the above driver is put back into the 8.61 but I
really doubt.
Most Kind Regards to Everyone,
Predrag Punosevac
Can you be a little more specific? I'm using that driver and it works
just fine...
Sure. This is the output of gs -h supposedly with list of all drivers.
