Hello? Does anyone else in the world anywhere use Brother printers? No
suggestions at all?

Subject: brother hl1250 - pjl not supported ...


Hi,

this may not be the right place to ask this question, if it's not, could
someone point me there? (thanks)

I've got lprng 3.8.2.1 installed (rpm), ifhp 3.4.9, and ghostscript 5.50
that ships with redhat 7.1...

printing text files from a linux command line works ok. printing from a
windows box (2k/9x) results in:

cat /var/spool/lpd/hp1250/status
using model 'gs_ljet4' at 11:41:43.004
setting up printer at 11:41:43.006
pagecounter 0 at 11:41:43.025
sending job file at 11:41:43.025
starting transfer at 11:41:43.025
initial job type 'PJL' at 11:41:43.025
decoded job type 'PJL' at 11:41:43.025
job is PJL and PJL not supported at 11:41:43.025

/etc/printcap looks like:
gs_ljet4:Brother HL 1250:
        :sh:lp=/dev/lp0:
        :af=acct:lf=log:
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P:
        :ifhp=model=gs_ljet4:
        :if=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp

I'm using the gs_ljet4 driver, which seemed like the closest match.

I was about to install ghostscript 7.03, because I'm guessing that model
gs_ljet4 is "Ghostscript LaserJet 4", and that a newer version of
Ghostscript may work better... am i barking up the wrong tree?

Has anyone managed to get these printers working?

Thanks,

Chris Herrmann
