apsfilter - hpijs dependence
In all FreeBSD-8.* so far, apsfilter can't be installed because of a dependenct on hpijs, apparently through foomatic. Is there a fix? I have no HP printer, so... a workaround? I find cups to be opaque, at my level at least :-( Thanks for previous help and present hope! c...@cape.com ABHOR SECRECY - DEFEND PRIVACY ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I couldn't find anything that stated directly either way in my quick googling, so I was hoping somebody here might have some ideas for things to check, etc. My 6980 has the same problem with hpijs and hplip... try cups (it should autodetect) Printing under Linux and FreeBSD are for all practical purposes identical. If it works under Linux is should work under FreeBSD. Which printer spooler are you using LPD, LPRng, CUPS, HPLIP/CUPS or PDQ? I personally like to use native LPD spooler. Since your printer is supported by hpijs the driver is included in apsfilter (or apsfilter will install hpijs port by default) which you compile form ports /usr/ports/print/apsfilter lpd_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf file Alter the permission so that the daemon can access the printer as /etc/devfs.conf perm lpt0 0666 #for parallel port printer perm ulpt0 0666 #for USB printer Then cd /usr/local/share/apsfilter and run the script ./SETUP The rest is self-explanatory. If you get a message about your version of ghostscript just ignore. You probably have much newer version of Ghostscript than apsfilter expect to find. The apsfilter is more than a filter. It will help you edit your printcup file, it will convert files to ps and finally it will let you choose the drivers . The only drivers which from the apsfilter list are gutenprint drivers. If you need them make sure your compile gutenprint with the tag without CUPS. || If you need more complicated printer policies you probably want to use LPRng or CUPS. This is the link to beautiful HPLIP how to http://dsteinbrook.googlepages.com/hpliponfreebsd Make sure you read the thing about the kernel. Bare in mind couple of thins. HPLIP does not support parallel port printers! Whatever they say on HPLIP forum is lie. They do not despite the fact that hpijs did. They support parallel port printers which are free standing printer servers via the web not by attaching them directly. The proper way to enable HPLIP is to start HPLIP daemons first and than CUPS daemon by let say editing /etc/rc.conf file and rebooting. The proper way to add the printer to HPLIP is to use CUPS http://localhost:631 and add the printer and then use HPLIP-toolbox and other goodies. HPLIP will just unlock full functionality of your printer. (Toner status, all in one devices etc) Do not forget to put lpd_enable=NO in /etc/rc.conf and hide native lp,lps,lpr,lpq commands so that you can use the same CUPS commands. If you need PPD file for your printer you can download from http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting but you can also generate your own using foomantic-rip. I gave you sort of general how to. If you have more specific questions and can generate some log files that would help a lot. Cheers, Predrag - -- Aryeh M.

The standard printer spooler (lpr) only recognizes a couple of ancient file types (dvi, ditroff etc). It dumps the input that it gets to a printer, without formatting it for a certain printer. That is the job of a spooler. I would suggest that you install the cups printer spooler in combination with the gutenprint printer driver. If you have those installed correctly, you should be able to select your printer from the gimp, and it should Just Work. You might also need the 'ppd' file for your printer from http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet_9800. This file tells gutenprint what the capabilities of the printer are.

hpijs, foomatic-rip, and CUPS
Hello, I cannot get hpijs to install. The full install log of it is attached to this email with a small snippet towards the bottom of this message. Does anyone have any ideas/ suggestions? I am running FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE with the latest CUPS infrastructure. For some time, I have been having issues with my printer (hp LaserJet 1160Le) ever since the CUPS update to 1.2.0. The latest problem I have been having was with foomatic-rip (I would get the error message /usr/local/libexec/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed). So, per E.J. Cerejo's suggestion, I uninstalled and reinstalled my entire printing infrastructure (this was to make sure that there were no oddities with the CUPS and gnutls upgrade). Everything managed to install _except_ hpijs. Without hpijs installed, I have no foomatic-rip file in that folder. Ergo, hpijs is my number one chance for fixing this issue. It also happens to be the recommended driver for my printer on www.linuxprinting.org. I installed hplip to see if that would work (since it shows support for the printer on their site), however my printer does not show up in any of the drop-down menus.

duplex printing with hpijs ???
Hi, for quite a long time my HP Deskjet 990 Cxi worked quite perfectly with Cups and hpijs driver from ports. For some weeks now duplex printing is defect, i.e. - printer fetches a sheet - prints out first page - turns it round - prints nothing on the back - fetches a second sheet - prints out second page. Has anybody else seen this strange behaviour? What might have happened? Duplex printing still works fine from a remote WinXP and a Debian Linux machine.

So one day a couple of weeks ago I decided to try the so much praised Gentoo on an athlon64 box at home. First I tried to make it through without any prior reading. But I was surprised at the fact that one of the most popular distro doesn't have a visually guided installation. Ok, I downloaded and printed your handbook (or what was it called) - and read it from the top to the bottom. That took me a while, all right.

problem with printed output from freebsd as a print server using cups, samba, hpijs
I've been experimenting with freebsd for a couple of weeks now, Im very familiar with linux, and I used gentoo (whose portage install setup is modeled from freebsd ports) I had a Gentoo server that did the following tasks... cups print system, samba shared those printers to windows boxes I have a hp laserjet 1100 printer so hpijs was installed. this Gentoo box also was a internet gateway NAT router for my internal network. Ive not been able to have much luck getting these services enabled on my freebsd box. I have freebsd RELEASE 5.4 installed, with a mix of pkg_add -r installed packages, and some updated ones from ports I did this because some of the packages were rather large, and this particular machine would take too long to compile then. Now, on to the problem... CUPS is intalled from ports, ive installed foomatic-db, foomatic=db-engine, and foomatic-hpijs all from ports. my laser printer works fine under freebsd. for some reason I havent quite figured out yet, the foomatic database of pritners DOES NOT show up the the cups web interface when you try to add a printer, all you get are the CUPS drivers for HP. This isnt really that important, but I would like to know how to get the printers list properly installed for future reference. samba is also installed from ports, and configured, and running. from my windows boxes, I see the samba server and its shares, and its printers. I can from windows use the shares. I can also print to the printer but not well. when I print a test page from cups to the printer its fine, no problems. whin I print a test page from windows to the printer its not fine. some how the data from windows is being corrupted. (I think) the stuff that comes off the printer is three or four pages of not much at all. I get the layers of the windows98 window to print on different pages, and the text that lists the files used never prints. This never happened on gentoo, and I cant find any reference to this problem from my internet searches. (I may not be searching for the right term, I grant you) Id like to get printing fixed, so that I can start working on some of th e other things, like the gateway and nat router an all of that. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

HP2000C foomatic+hpijs output problems
Hi all, I'm having some odd output problems with my HP2000C using the cups/foomatic+hpijs drivers. The printer will print, but the output is always distorted--it's magnified several times larger than it should be and stretched horizontally. The same printer works fine using the standard cups new DeskJet driver as well as cups+gimp-print. Here's how I setup the printer with foomatic and hpijs: installed foomatic-db port installed hpijs port downloaded foomatic-rip and foomatic-gswrapper from LinuxPrinting.org into /usr/local/bin and chmod'ed to 755 symlinked foomatic-rip into /usr/local/libexec/cups/filter downloaded HP-2000C-hpijs.ppd from LinuxPrinting.org, gzipped and placed in /usr/local/share/ppd/HP symlinked /usr/local/share/ppd/HP into /usr/local/share/cups/model went through the usual steps to install the printer in CUPS Is there anything I'm missing?

Magicfilter is a much less cpu-intensive solution, and includs the ability to print things you can't print with apsfilter. Allright, I'll have a look at it... The stp driver is part of the ghostscript port. You'll have to reinstall the ghostscript port, and select that driver on the driver selection setup. OK, this is not a problem, this is all I'm doing since last month. Others - or maybe it was you - have reported this problem. I may take a look at the hpijs port if I have time later today. I did report it once on the list but got no answer, that's why I was looking for someone who has a similar setup than me. Thank you for this information.

When I want to print something I just convert it to post script and feed it to gs which knows how to talk to printers. Read the gs man page to see how to do it.

hpijs
Hi ! I am looking for someone who uses the HPIJS printer driver to help me out a little bit with it. The printing output is very poor quality on my printer, and I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything. I used to use HPIJS under Cups and Linux and the quality was very very nice, so I am sure I must have done something wrong is the apsfilter configuration. Thanks in advance.

hpijs poor quality printing
Hi ! I'm trying to make my Hp Deskjet 970Cxi works with LPD using apsfilter. So far, it works, but the output quality is very poor. I'm using the ijs/DESKJET_970 (hpijs) driver since it is supposed to be the best filter for that printer (I remember having great printing quality under Linux with hpijs). Anyone having that kind of setup (Hp Deskjet+hpijs) that could help me improve printing quality ?
