Ah, thanks - Unicode support (or lack thereof) in the Postscript 2 drivers.

Can't Netsurf print to postscript printers? I just printed a webpage over 3
sheets, with background colours, pictures, text and all. Ricoh printer, PS3

Printing characters instead of downloading

Hello.

If I surf to :

appearing, instead of a download

window.

Thanks.

The server tells NetSurf that the file is text/plain, so netsurf displays
it as text.

Once the page loads as text you can save it (Page  Save or F3).

Also, instead of clicking the link to the file on the software list page,
you can shift+click the link, to force a download.

My understanding is to first download the binaries-two.zip where you
will find Printers V1.73.

Make a copy of !Printers (ADFS::HardDisc4.$.Printing). This is
important - in case anything goes awry.

Then drag the copy of !Printers from the binaries-two.zip over your
existing copy to upgrade.

The module (PDriverDP) is the important one for correct NS printing and
is contained in the Printing archive (all-bin-2007-11-15.zip). Therefore
drag this skeleton copy of !Printers over your copy of !Printers V1.73.

NS printing should now work.

 Nothing much, I'm afraid. RISC OS 5.** printing is broken in this
 respect. I'm sure someone will be along in a moment to explain
 further.

It works fine with non-PostScript printers, providing you have a version of
PDriverDP 4.54 or later. This is available on ROOL's site. See the archives
of this list for further details.

Certainly, this whole episode has demonstrated quite clearly that my
efforts in this regard have been wasted. It appears that very few people
actually use non-PostScript printers in conjunction with RO5. 

I see from the pages of Archive magazine that there are apparently issues
with the new drivers and Artworks. It would be nice if someone actually
reported this to ROOL, as I'm sure they'd want to know about it.
Complaining about things on mailing lists certainly isn't going to bring
issues with ROOL components to the attention of those best placed to be

 Of course not; noone's made any claims that PDriverPS has been fixed. I'm
 somewhat confused, therefore, as to the state of bafflement that exists
 here.

 Is there any prospect of this PostScript problem being sorted out?

 Not be me at least -- it was bad enough fixing PDriverDP without direct

 don't have time to wade through the thousands of pages of PostScript
 language specification to work out what's required. This effort would be
 most certainly wasted, anyway, as people who are already experts in dealing

Many thanks for this clarification, and I'll wait patiently for the

Just for info : since writing that my setup now seems to print OK to my
Kyocera using PostScript Level 1 and
HP2550 using PostScript Level 2 . . . . both now come up with the same old
error Undefined font...

Well, I did say Perhaps it will fall on its face next time I try. and it
did :(

My question is: why?  Having printed faultlessly immediately after
installing !Printers 1.73 and having made no changes to anything on the
basis of 'if it ain't broke..' it proved that the setup can work, but now
inexplicably refuses to do so.

Still prints from NetSurf to the Kyocera using the PCL driver though :o)

There might be something you can do in NetSurf to get PostScript  
printing

working - Kevin Bracey had a couple of suggestions when I was adding
Unicode support to ZapRedraw:

  Yes, it's mapping the stuff to PostScript fonts that's the problem.  
Lots of
  work from a PostScript guru needed there. It might require  
PostScript 3 to

  make it work.

  snip

  I think we're talking at cross-purposes here. You said UCS support  
in VDU
  mode, so I assumed you meant using the system font, which can be  
achieved

  using the Service_International call to redefine character n as UCS
  character u.

  Browse could do this - it sort of used characters 80-FF of the  
system font
  as a cache of recently needed characters, which it fetched on  
demand using
  Service_International during its redraw loop. It then restored them  
to their
  original definition at the end of the redraw. This worked rather  
well with
  PostScript printing - the PostScript printer driver does a very  
intelligent
  job of handling system font and its redefinition. It doesn't yet  
support

  UTF8. Still.

Makes an amusing technical challenge, I reckon, so ZapRedraw does the
same thing when plotting in the system font. I think Browse would
reprogram the system font size too (using VDU 23,17,7 or whatever).  
Good stuff.

Well; there's your problem, then. You need at least 4.54.

This can be found in all-bin-2007-11-15.zip from
http://riscosopen.co.uk/content/downloads/risc-os-tarballs

Note that the !Printers in that zip file is not complete -- you'll need to

 Has there been a new 1.73, perhaps? Or am I missing some necessary
 modules? If so, what should I have, and where do I get them?

 I've got all the latest versions installed here and I still can't get
 printing to postscript printers from NetSurf.

That makes me feel better!

With best wishes,

Peter.

  There is a Boot file but am reluctant to run this as I unaware of

  None of this is meaningful. How do I preceed from here please

 You need to download the previous copy of the binaries, which
 included a copy of !Printers. The most recent binary only contains
 update files and not the full application.

 Having said that, I've encountered weird redraw problems with
 !Printers 1.73 so I've gone back to the previous version to avoid
 crashing the machine. :-(

OK I have got hold of Printers 1.73 but whichever version I use I get
an error Illegal control in font string - where do I go from here?

 Have you tried restarting since installing the new printer drivers?

Yes - no difference.

I should have pointed out this is with NetSurf. Dev 22 Jan 2008
r3761 version.

Earlier versions give same error.

 AFAIAA, it works (except to PostScript printers).

  The current release has the same help instructions as previous
  issues about lack of Font Manager and printer drivers support -
  there is a comment about a patch for non-Postscript printers that
  has been submitted to RISC OS Open Ltd.

 See revisions 4.11 and 4.12, here:

Thanks for that information - will investigate supplied web pages and
report back.

Some people have reported success in printing to a non-PostScript 
printer using the latest release of !Printers; I don't have one of 
these, so I still can't :-(

Peter.

Thanks for that important information - I will have a look. Re-draw
problems - this doesn't sound good :-((

I need to speak to you about getting FileCrypt to work. I'll contact
you separately on this one.
