Hi!
I need some help with setting up a HP Plotter. The plotter is a
Designjet500ps
with a Jetdirect print server and HPGL/RTL accessory card.
There is a set of filter scripts here that will rasterize plot data and
generate
RTL output. I've also tried just plotting raw HPGL.
In each case (HPGL or RTL), I can plot by bypassing the spool system with a
scriptlet like this:
#!/bin/sh
ifhp=model=hpdj500c
/usr/local/ifhp/3.4.1/libexec/filters/ifhp
-Tdev=ew111shpp1%9100,trace,debug=3,${ifhp} < plotme.hpg 2>/tmp/trace
However, when I try to use the spooler, I only get an 1 inch band from RTL
plots,
and HPGL plots just disappear.
The ifhp Howto suggests "lpq -llll" to check the filter status, that does
not
give me any more information than plain "lpq".
Does anyone have any suggestions?
TIA,
Christian
