Re: setting up a HP 880C/850C
Quoting Christian T. Steigies ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Thanks for the hint! I should have read the a2ps docs... Put in your ~/.a2psrc # Default medium Options: --medium=A4dj Or change it in /etc/a2ps.cfg (standard is A4) Thanks for that. :Last question: printers in the network. How do I set up this, havent found :this in a howto yet. I have two machines on the network, one has a printer, :one not (or an old Fujitsu DL1100C printer). Now my Debian/m68k box wants :to print on the Debian/i386 printer. Can I configure that with magicfilter? Basically, the one without the printer (192.168.100.100) needs /etc/printcap lp|foo:\ :lp=/dev/null:\ :rm=192.168.111.111:\ :rp=bar:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/foo:\ :af=/var/log/lp-acct:\ :lf=/var/log/lp-errs:\ :pl#72:pw#80:px#1440:mx#0:sh: and the one with (192.168.111.111) needs bar:\ :lp=/dev/lp1:sf:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/bar:\ :af=/var/log/lp-acct:\ :lf=/var/log/lp-errs:\ :pl#72:pw#80:px#1440:mx#0:sh: plus /etc/hosts.lpd needs 192.168.100.100 All this is lpr-speak, not lprng.

Hi, On Tue, 11 May 1999, David Wright wrote: I have an 895c and use the hpdj driver in gs-aladdin, which uses a lot less ink than hp550c which I believe is the traditional deskjet driver. Gonna try that (have to update the notebook from hamm to slink...) Use the extra switch -M A4dj to tell a2ps leave an extra margin. I don't know how to integrate this into /etc/papersize, but then I always use a2ps through wrapper functions in .bashrc as there are far too many switches to remember my preferences.

setting up a HP 880C/850C
Hi, I got an HP 880C yesterday which works in principle. Now I have two or three questions: Ive seen there is an (experimental?) gs driver for newer HPs, available as a patch. Are there plans to integrate it into gs or is it not worth it? When printing with a2ps the first two columns of the let page (2 pages on one paper standard setting) are missing. Same on a HP 850C, which is also configured to use the dj550c driver (magicfilter). I am printing on A4 paper, I have /etc/papersize to a4 (at least on the machine with the 850C). How to I tell a2p or gs or whomever that the HP can not print on the last ~10mm of the page as written in the manual? Last question: printers in the network. How do I set up this, havent found this in a howto yet. I have two machines on the network, one has a printer, one not (or an old Fujitsu DL1100C printer). Now my Debian/m68k box wants to print on the Debian/i386 printer. Can I configure that with magicfilter? Thanks, Christian.
