Re: apsfilter and Epson Stylus C63 on Current
Great. The reason I knew the answer is because I had the same problem for the last two weeks and I got what I knew to be bad advice from a few people. So I kept trying (I've been in the profession for 27 years but it hardly helps...). I finally went purusing thru the ports directory for CUPS.

Epson C62 WAS: Re: apsfilter and Epson Stylus C63 on Current
Thanks for the reply. I just discovered that if I save a email to a .ps file, then open it in GhostView, it will print perfectly. It's only when printed from within Mozilla Thunderbird that it prints the .ps code. In GhostView it prints to lp, in thunderbird it prints to Postscript/default which the properties show as lpr -Plp. In GhostView it shows properties for lp as local printer and Generic UNIX LPD Print System. I guess I can save every email I want to print to a file, but I shouldn't have to, and really don't want to. Regards, Chip Malcolm Kay wrote: There is really no absolute way of detecting postscript. Most of these filters assume that if the first two characters passed are %! then it is postscript code but this character pair does not have to be at the start of PS code or even anywhere in the code -- it's just a convention that it should start with these characters; a convention that is mostly followed. So it would appear likely your e-mail application is not following the convention. Maybe a blank line precedes the traditional opening PS line. Or maybe that line is not there at all. You could perhaps print the e-mail to a file and examine in detail how it begins. With this information it should be possible to adapt the print filter script to detect the alternative PS introduction. Or even write a prefilter script that recognises the alternate PS start and converts it to a more conventional start. It might for example only need to drop a leading new line character.

Re: apsfilter and Epson Stylus C63 on Current
I'm still fighting with the Epson Stylus C63. I can print images with gimp through gimp-print and after configuring cups I can print the test page and it looks great but I can't print anything else. Other programs see the printer configured by cups and can send jobs to, what I assume to be the queue although they don't show up in kjobViewer and I can only verify their existence with lpc status all and it shows: # lpc status all c63: queuing is enabled printing is enabled 1 entry in spool area c63 is ready and printing The light on the printer blinks but it's never printed and just goes away. I suppose that since I know nothing about cups, I'm mixing it with lpd with no knowledge of interoperability, assuming that it exists. I would love to be able to just update apsfilter with the new gimp-print drivers and use lpd but I haven't been able to make it happen. I've recompiled ghostscript, gimp-print and apsfilter multiple times from ports.

I've always been able to usr practically any of the basic Epson stylus entries with new epson printers and they've worked. In this case I get a lot of form feeds and garbage. I've tried the gimp drivers and I get a lot of | and other garbage. Ascii prints fine. I've tried the script in the handbook to see if I could get anything understandable from different gs drivers with no luck. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciat them of if someone has a Epson Stylus C63 or C6? printing successfully, would you be kind enough to share the secret with me? :) Most printers can be found at http://www.linuxprinting.org/ and is generally usefull for most flavours of unix as well as linux. Together with other information for the C63 it states: Needs Gimp-Print 4.3.21 or 4.2.6pre2 (or newer versions), this printer does not work with the drivers for the C82 or C83.
