Dear list members,
At work, I am using GISWxprint (v009.001) on a SPARC Sunblade 100
running Solaris 2.8, in Firefox 1.06 and Mozilla 1.7.11 happily, with
one exception. I cannot figure out how to obtain the
"xp_pdf_spooldir_tmp_Xprintjobs@<xpserver>"
in my printer select dialog popup when printing from these
applications. The ps version works extremely well, but there does not
appear to be a pdf spool directory in:
"/opt/GISWxprint/server/etc/XpConfig/C/print/models/".
I see only the following:
"CANONC3200-PS/ HPLJ4050-PS/ PSdefault/ PSspooldir/ SPSPARC2/".
However, on my home x86 dexktop and work x86 laptop running Debian
GNU/Linux (testing and unstable, respectively) with xprint (v009 and
v1:0.10.alpha1-12, respectively), I see that in addition to the above
models, I have available:
"PS2PDFspooldir-GS/ GSdefault/"
and an extra two Canon and one HP printers. In the printer dialog box,
I have the option of selecting
"xp_pdf_spooldir_tmp_Xprintjobs@<xpserver>".
I scoured the mozdev site, read the FAQ, googled for information on
solaris, xprint, pdf, but could not find any information as to whether
this service was available or not. In the CVS SRC tree on the website
of xfree86desktop.org there does not appear to be anything in the pdf
subdirectory of
"/xprint/src/xprint_main/xc/programs/Xserver/Xprint". Maybe the
feature depends on other packages being available too, such as
ghostscript (which I have)? I could not figure out how to search this
Xprint mailing list, but tried to look for threads that included the
keywords solaris, pdf, to no avail.
I would really like to know what the issue is here, and whether I can
in fact obtain pdf output with xprint under solaris if I set the
configuration correctly.
If this information is available elsewhere, please point this out to
me, I gladly admit my ignorance.
Many thanks in advance.
