Re: Dj660c-filter and stepping
Hi Bob,
My answer to your question is no and yes.
No, I don't have gs installed by the time I learn the command. When I
read the
/etc/magicfilter/dj550c-filter I found 2 lines that goes with gs, then I know
for
PostScript printing it requires GhostScript. At first, I don't know what are
the difference between gs and gs-aladdin package. I downloaded 2 and installed
2 by
typing gs the screen freezes at a white blank page. After I studied the dpkg
--info of these 2 packages I realized that they are in conflict to each other
from there I selected gs-aladdin instead of gs.
Now I have gs (aladdin) installed, but doing ' gs ' or ' gs
Tutorial.ps ' or
' gs -sDEVICE=cdj550 Tutorial.ps ' I got
Unknown paper size:(A4).

I have Debian 2.0.34 with base installation on it (no Window Maker,

the

From the install.txt.gz file of gs-aladdin, it says ( in the Unix

have to compile the source. Do I really have to do it ? Isn't all the

The reason you are getting the stepping is that this is going as raw
data
to the printer, not through any filter. You need to pipe it through lpr,
not send it directly to /dev/lp1.
The ghostscript printer compatibility page
(http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/printer.html) indicates that the cdj550
driver (which is called by dj550c-filter) is the correct one to use with
the 660C, so you should use the dj550c-filter in magicfilter.
To print a man page, use 'man -t printcap|lpr'.
From the Printing-HowTo, there is an example
#!perl
#The above line should really have the whole path to perl
#This script must be executable: chmod 755 filter
while (STDIN){chop $_; print $_\r\n;);
#You might also want to end with a form feed: print \f;
Should I leave the STDIN as is or replace it with lp1 or something
else
?
The easy way is to let magicfilter do the work for you.

Alan,
There is a bit more to it than typing 'gs something.ps'. You should print
practically everything using the magicfilter entry. Just type 'lpr
filename.ps'.
gs-aladdin is a newer version than plain gs (it has a slightly more
restrictive license). It is pre-compiled in the Debian package.
Did you also install gs-fonts? If you use dselect or apt-get, you will
avoid (or at least minimize) dependency problems.

Re: Dj660c-filter and stepping
Hi Bob,
I have installed gs-fonts as well. I don't know how to use dselect (and
apart from that there are a lot of questions being asked about dselect), I use
dpkg
instead.
Dependency is not a problem for me since the Debian site manage the dependencies
very well and on installation the packages will remind me if I get something
missed
out.
Now I've tried ' man -t printcap | lpr ' it works well and also
' lpr Tutorial.ps ' (the tutorial file in /usr/doc/lprng-doc)
All worked well.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.

Re: Dj660c-filter and stepping
Hi Joseph,
Thank you for your suggestion. I've solved my printing problem from
the hints given by Bob and
Hernan.
There is a dj550c-filter in the magicfilter package from Debian and
replace the last command with '
default text ' as instructed by the installer and that is it. It works fine
now.
Thank you.
