I have a pretty strage problem with my new printer.
I have a HP 6L with the latest version of magicfilter from hamm When I try
to print anything but text and pcl files nothing happens. I have gs-alldin
installed. If however, I process ps files with the same exact options as
in the filter I am using and print with lp the output file it works.
Hi,
your error seems to happen with old versions of gs-aladdin
(the problems happen when gs is execuder with user=root or group=root
AND the output is sent to the stdout).
Which version are you using?
You could consider to install gs-aladdin 5.03-1 (in hamm); this requires
a libc6 system however...
Otherwise you can try to modify your filter file as follows: replace
# PostScript
0 %! filter /usr/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -r300
-sDEVICE=ljet4 -sOutputFile=- -
with;
# Postscript
0 %! filter /usr/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -r300
-sDEVIC=ljet4 -sOutputFile=\|cat 13 - 31 12
Anybody has any clue. Of course I can keep working like that but a) can't
print through application b) it is not very elegant since after the gs
works I get a GS prompt and have to type quit to continue with the lp
command.
The GS promt can be avoided by adding -c quit at the end of the gs command,
like in:
gs -q -dSEFAR -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=your_device -sOutputFIle=tmp_file \
you_file.ps -c quit
Ciao,
Marco
